BANNER-HERALD
NEW YORK.—The renaissance
in the long-neglected art of typo
graphy which has been sweeping
over the American publishing
field will receive added impetus
this month when four of the out-
j tending monthly magazines .n
the quality field will appear in
new typographical dress and in
larger size. The four publications
which are adopting their new
formats with their January issues
are The Review of Reviews, The
Forum World’s Work and The
Golden Book.
Consulting “typographers”,
ty|»e specialists whose ' services
are now in wide demand at high
fees to advise on type selection
and design, collaborated with the
respective publishers to bring
af:oot radical improvements in
readability and appearance-
The four 'magazines■'* have
adopted the so-called “flat* size*
which adds two inches to width
and depth to accommodate larger
and clearer type, wider margin s
greater scope for Ulubtration un i
for the attractive “layout” of I
pages, both in the editorial and
advertising sections.
Convenience in handling is an
other consideration which has
brought about the change, accord
ing to the publishers.
Currie New Editor of World’s
Work
“The advantages arc top obvi
ous to need more than passing
mention”, says a statement by
The Review of Reviews Corpora
tion, which also publishes The
Golden Book . “A new quality of
paper has been introduced to aid
readability. The wider margins,
permlttipf the doubling of the
magazine In one hand without the
type disappeari/?:? into the bind
ing, the greater amount of read
ing matter before the page need
be turned, and finally, the oppor
tunity given by the. larger pages
for decoration ami artistic pre
sentation, both of text and ad
vertising. »
World’s Work makes its* change
in format simultaneously with Its
first appearance under the editor
ship of Barton Currie, formerly
editor of Tho Ladies’ , Heme
Journal and one of the most wide-
row
change the magazine will remain
: ubstantinlly what it has been,
progressive leader n the field of
current topics and contemporary
thought. The new World’s Work,
he says, is “net to be considered
as a finality of form and sub-
tar.ee but ns merely the '.cginnign
in a project of expansion and im
provement.
