Imperial Chemical Industries - the then great ICI - was the UK's largest chemical concern and it employed high standards of publicity and advertiisng for many years. This delightful book was issued in 1937 to promote the development of a new waterproofing agent 'Velan' which was launched with an exhibition at London's Dorland House. It tells the story of Hilary Hexagon (Hexagon House was interestingly the home of ICI's ex-British Dyestuffs Corporation laboratories in Blackley, Manchester, and where Velan was developed) and her quest in London to remain waterproof with the assistance of an already waterproofed duck.
The uncredited text was written by Marjorie Hayward, a press officer at ICI, and the illustrations are by the marvellous Polish born Feliks Topolski who had arrived in the UK in 1935. I've long admired his work and this is a wonderful example of his loose drawing or sketch style. The book is beautifully printed by the Plaistow, London, based Curwen Press; interesting as ICI themselves owned a superb in-house printing outfit, the Kynoch Press in Birmingham. ICI did use Curwen on occasion, possibly when Kynoch were busy?
The cover shows our heroine braving the rain whilst a Guardsman stands snug in his sentry box.

I was recently invited to take part in a project based on Taduesz Borowski's book of stories about his experiences in a Nazi concentration camp. Designers were asked to supply their own interpretation of the cover in order to create a larger body of work that would hopefully create discussion about how the holocaust is represented and mediated.

Cover design by George Giusti, typography by Edward Gorey for Community, State, and Church: Three Essays by Karl Barth. Garden City, N.Y., Doubleday, 1960. BX9410 .B323
The introduction for this AIGA book begins with an excerpt from “Homage to the Book”, written by Frederick B. Adams, Jr. (former director of the Morgan Library).
This text is very interesting to read in 2008, when the exact future of books is in question. The opener begins with the question “Is the Book Dying?”
I would love to get a hold of this full book...but its quite pricey. But, “Homage to the Book” is also a winning entry in the AIGA Fifty Books 1968 volume.
