  1. What’s the body text for the book?

  2. Hello Michael, do you have a good image of the book’s interior?

    The italic used for “All rights reserved” etc. with the single-storey g might be Linotype Old Style No. 1. The title page appears to be in Janson.

  3. Michael, it’s been a while. The Internet Archive has a scanned copy of this edition. I have just added three images showing the interior typography to the post. The text typeface is indeed Linotype Janson, made in 1932 under the direction of C.H. Griffith.
