"Peter Piper?s Practical Principles of Plain and Perfect Pronunciation plays a game of old and new. It is based on a famous early nineteenth-century American ?reader' - the very source of the Peter Piper pickled pepper tongue twister - which the editors have reprinted in full, with a brief scholarly commentary on the original edition. But the book is actually an advertisement and design sampler for the Mergenthaler Linotype Company, the manufacturers of the most up-to-date typesetting equipment of the 1920s. Mergenthaler commissioned a literal Who?s Who of graphic designers of the period to create the book, each of whom was asked to design one spread, for one alphabetical rhyme, in their own style.
