Title: An Important Edition of An Important Book
Review: The Heritage Press edition of Main Street is notable, not simply because of the fame of the illustrator, because of its unified design elements.The illustrator, Grant Wood, produced 8 full page illustrations, styled as "portraits," realistic, solemn, yet sharp in their satire.The book's designer, William Kittredge of Chicago's Lakeside Press, wanted a homey and unassuming feel for the book. What he assembled is certainly one of the more interesting of the Heritage books: an almost square book in a dusty blue slipcase, bound in a blue cloth reminiscent of denim with a muddy tan spine. The text and illustrations are on modest flat, tan paper. I find it an utterly inelegant yet beautiful piece of work.The edition, originally released by LEC in 1937, was honored by the American Institute of Graphic Arts for Outstanding Design.With an introduction by Lewis written for the 1937 edition, 367 pp, with a sewn binding.
