It is highly characteristic, referring as it does to the design shortcomings of a published document -'the matter of the Report is full of interest - but its presentation - ugh! What conceivable justification is there for the vast head-of-page margins (and diminutive tail-margins) on type pages - made all the sillier by the full page arrangements of illustrated pages.' A copy of a newspaper obituary of the author is also included. A SPLENDID ASSOCIATION COPY OF MEYNELL'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY , ACCOMPANIED BY A TYPICALLY FORTHRIGHT CREATIVE OPINION FROM ONE THE LEADING BRITISH DESIGNERS AND TYPOGRAPHERS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY. …

First UK edition, presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "For Raymond Briggs, So good to meet you! Maurice Sendak, Dec. 75", with an illustration of Mickey, the hero of this book. This title was originally published in the US in the previous year. In a fitting tribute to Raymond Briggs, who developed the use of speech bubbles in his comic book illustration style, Sendak has enclosed part of the inscription ("So good to meet you!") within a speech bubble to Mickey. Provenance: From the library of Raymond Briggs (1934-2022), the illustrator, graphic novelist, cartoonist and author, with a posthumous book label. Winner of numerous awards, including the Kate Greenaway Medal (twice), the Hans Christian Andersen Award, the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award, and the Kurt Maschler Award, Briggs noted that "the whole point of illustration is that it is literary. If it is not, it remains a drawing only. Something must be 'going on' in the illustration" (Horne, p. 124). He is chiefly remembered for Father Christmas (1973), Fungus the Bogeyman (1978), When the Wind Blows (1982) and the perennial classic The Snowman (1978).
