"It is delightful to read for pleasure and information at the same time, but only rarely does the reader find material that satisfies him equally on both counts. Too often is presented 'more matter with less art' or form with too little substance. A happy combination conducive to both pleasure and instruction, however, may be found in The Colophon, A Book Collector's Quarterly. This magazine, which for thirteen years provided readers with entertaining articles concerning bibliography, book illustration, and fine printing, was able to survive the depression, yet was unable to be continued during the period when the nation was preparing for war. A detailed consideration of its history and an evaluation of its contents is the burden of the paper, a project which would seem appropriate in the training of a librarian in that the evaluation and selection of magazines is a part of almost every librarian's duties and is of as much importance as the selection of books"--Introduction. / "May, 1958." / Typescript. / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts." / Advisor: Agnes Gregory, Professor Directing Paper. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 87-89).
