Moby Dick

Macmillan, New York, 1929

The Modern Readers' Series title page, inside its full decorative border, opposite the emblem panel from the same setting — harpoon and scales, crescent, castle, anchor, tree, armillary sphere. Introduced by Ralph Dow, who taught English at the high school in New Bedford, which is either a coincidence or the whole point.

Adapted from the 1929 Macmillan Company edition of Moby Dick by Herman Melville, Modern Readers' Series. Reproduced from public-domain source material; exact scan and source repository record still to be completed.

Paper

All stocks are acid-free. Thickness is given in points — a point is a thousandth of an inch.

A woven texture close to the laid paper these pages were printed on. The lightest of the four, and the one that reads as book rather than card.
