Faber and Faber, 1989, hardcover, illustrated, index, 338 pages, condition: very good.

                                                                                           .Biography of the type designer ( Gill Sans) and sculptor 
 An excellent biography which throws new light on the life of this great artist and craftsman. MacCarthy had access to Gill's unpublished diaries which were partly written in code and provide an interesting, sometimes shocking insight into his everyday life. A recent review in THE NEW YORK TIMES concluded "Few men have been better served by a biographer."
The  author, Fiona MacCarthy established herself as one of the leading writers of biography in Britain with this widely acclaimed book 'Eric Gill'. Her biography of Byron was described  as 'a flawless triumph' and 'William Morris' won the Wolfson History Prize and the Writers' Guild Non-Fiction Award.
