Andrew C. Ritchie [foreword]: GOOD DESIGN IS YOUR BUSINESS. Buffalo, NY: The Buffalo Fine Arts Academy, Albright Art Gallery Publication, 1947. First edition. Slim quarto. Printed thick wrappers. 98 pp. 166 black and white illustrations. 4 text illustrations. Wrappers lightly rubbed and edgeworn. Interior unmarked and very clean. Out-of-print. Nice tight interior, so a very good or better copy.
8.5 x 11 soft cover book with 98 pages and 166 black-and-white illustrations and 4 text illustrations: "The resulting show seems to me a peculiarly happy example of what can be achieved when an American business seeks to promote the public welfare on a high plane. By doing so it, of course, shows enlightened self interest, since any public improvement which may derive from the exhibition and the ideas expressed in this monograph will inevitably redound to the advantage and improvement of business' products themselves."
