The importance of design in our industrial society depends on its ideological, economic and social implications. Thanks to the nume­ rous studies to which it gives rise, it is characterized by efforts tending to humanize modern techniques.

It is, however, necessary for it to define constantly reasonable policies which answer the needs of the society in which we live, capitalist or socialist, but firmly industrial. Another important function of design: to offer to the consumer the final opportunity to create his own environment, and to be able to make personal choices.

    CONTACTING THE WORLDS OF EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS ERB “AUTO-BIOGRAPHY” ENVELOPE The Gridley Wave #331 (April 2010) reported an unknown variant edition of ERB’s “An Auto-Biography,” published in 1916 by the Republic Motor Truck Co, Inc. Characterized as a possible “trade” edition, it was bound in illustrated card board covers. Bibliophiles member Joe Lukes reported to George McWhorter in late May that he had just purchased a mint copy of this variant, which arrived in a still- unopened envelope originally created as the mailer for the book.

As a teen in the 1940s, Williamson took art classes with Burne Hogarth, and later attended Hogarth's Cartoonists and Illustrators School, where he met Roy Krenkel. Among Williamson’s very first profes- sional work were laying out and penciling a number of Tarzan newspaper Sunday pages for Hogarth in 1948. Williamson reported that he had recommended John Celardo to assist Hogarth on the strip. In the early 1950s, Williamson was the youngest member in the acclaimed EC Comics stable of artists, often collaborating with Frank Frazetta. Williamson’s photorealistic pen-and-brush style and dynamic composition earned him the highest accolades from peers and fans for decades, and he became a mentor to many promising artists over the years, including Michael Kaluta.

  • Editor & Publisher International Year Books
    Content Survey & Selective Index For Editor & Publisher International Year Books *1929-1949 Compiled by Gary M. Johnson Reference Librarian Newspaper & Current Periodical Room Serial & Government Publications Division Library of Congress 2013 This survey of the contents of the 1929-1949 Editor & Publisher International Year Books consists of two parts: a page-by-page selective transcription of the material in the Year Books and a selective index to the contents (topics, names, and titles) of the Year Books. The purpose of this document is to inform researchers about the contents of the E&P Year Books in order to help them determine if the Year Books will be useful in their work. Secondly, creating this document has helped me, a reference librarian in the Newspaper & Current Periodical Room at the Library of Congress, to learn about the Year Books so that I can provide better service to researchers. The transcript was created by examining the Year Books and recording the items on each page in page number order. Advertisements for individual newspapers and specific companies involved in the mechanical aspects of newspaper operations were not recorded in the transcript of contents or added to the index. The index (beginning on page 33) attempts to provide access to E&P Year Books by topics, names, and titles of columns, comic strips, etc., which appeared on the pages of the Year Books or were mentioned in syndicate and feature service ads. The headings are followed by references to the years and page numbers on which the heading appears. The individual Year Books have detailed indexes to their contents.
