"A Display of Type Specimens. Warren's Olde Style, 9 x 13.9 cm. Cover of Andorra Gray. Forum and Bembo title. 48 copies. November 25, 1962." (RAS item F)
Squires didn't count this modest pamphlet as a publication per se in the Descriptive Listing - he considered Clark Ashton Smith's The Hill of Dionysus his first publication. But Type Specimens preceded Dionysus by two days, so it gets precedence here.
This copy came with a note (presumably from RAS; it looks like his printing) about the project:
The faces included in the booklet are Warren Olde Style, Bembo (four text sizes in roman & italic), Lydian (bold, condensed and sloped in titling sizes), Centaur (10-pt & 12-pt), Arrighi (22-pt only), Cable (light & bold in text sizes), and Highspot (thankfully, 18-pt only).
