2 Comments on “The White Voyage by John Christopher”

  1. The title of the book is set in Tourist Gothic Italic, whilst the remainder is set in Franklin Gothic (apparently, Franklin Gothic Condensed Italic didn’t exist until 1967, which would’ve been 5 years after this book’s publication.)

    Baltotype had a copy (mislabeled as Franklin Gothic Condensed Italic), as seen here: https://archive.org/details/BaltotypeTypeAndRuleCatalogNo13_1959/page/n21/mode/2up

  2. Thank you, Bryson! I have adjusted the credit.

    FWIW, book seller Ye Old Bookworm dates this edition to 1960.
