Greer Allen was a legendary book designer and University Printer to Yale University. As a young man he worked on the racetrack and rode steeplechasers for 5 years until his printing firm-employer ordered him to stop because the injuries were interfering with his day job. This pamphlet was published as a memorial tribute to him. It reprints one of his popular lectures, which applied racetrack life-lessons to the problems facing graphic designers. Can be sent outside the US for less than the default shipping rate.
