Essentials of Linoleum Block Printing By Ralph W. Polk, 1927

For 50 years, Horace Dodd has worked to build a diverse collection of books and the SDSU Library is the fortunate recipient of much of this collection. He has generously donated his entire collection of every edition published of Francis Parkman's Oregon Trail; his extensive printmaking, paper making and book making texts; books about George Catlin; theater playbills; and his paper engineering books numbering 235 in all.
