Cover and booklet from the second volume a series of instructional clarinet recordings by clarinettist Avrahm Galper (Edmonton, Canada, 1921): “An adventure in learning for young clarinetists; Music for clarinet solo and clarinet ensembles by Canadian composers”. From Shawn Earle:

Not only is the recording a treasure to listen to, but the liner notes are significant on their own. Valuable information is provided for each piece including an evaluation of difficulty, composer biography, a history of each piece, performance concerns, analysis with score examples, and a brief history of the clarinet.

For the type on a curve, designer Margit Kapler picked Davida, a winning entry from the 1965 VGC type design competition. Read more about Margit Kapler and this booklet on Canada Modern.
