The images from this year’s calendar are again from the shelves of three of San Francisco’s most extensive and well-curated rare book, manuscript, and typography collections. Thanks to the Gleeson Library at the University of San Francisco, the Letterform Archive, and The William Newlin Collection for their generosity and good will.
