Several references to bulls, Spain and Pamplona in the last few days, or perhaps I'm just catching them because of Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises is on the nightstand. Anyone who's visited Weller knows we have a penchant for a good graphic children's book of a certain era (Paul Rand, Bruno Munari etc). But one that rings distinctly in my head (though we don't carry it in the shop as yet) is The Story of Ferdinand by Munro Leaf with drawings by Robert Lawson originally published in 1936. I saw a stencil of Ferdinand recently... and must say that it's nice to see him pop up again after so many years... 
While we may not have Ferdinand in stock, we do have a monograph, The Design Legacy of George Salter - Classic Book Jackets by Thomas S. Hansen which you might enjoy...
