Title: Melbert B. Cary, Jr. collection of Goudyana, ca. 1929-1941.

The books and ephemera in the collection were acquired by Cary through purchase and gift, including some received directly from Goudy himself while Cary organized an AIGA exhibition of Goudy's work in 1932, and while compiling the bibliography.
