"The present catalogue, and the retrospective exhibition which it records, combine our tribute to the uncompromising spirit of Joseph Blumenthal's pursuit of excellence and our expression of gratitude for his achievement, not alone for the Library, but for printing in our time. It is appropriate that the catalogue should itself be a product of The Spiral Press, and the reader will doubtless share our pleasure that Mr. Blumenthal was persuaded ... to write the personal account which adds immeasurably to the lasting value of this publication"--Page 7.
