How do you plan to survive
1986 :: California :: Apple Computers
It's a... earthquake survival guide by Apple? I found this completely randomly and believe that it was for employees, but I couldn't find any other documentation about it. The layout of the spreads is incredibly playful and uses cut and pasted images that remind me of Dada collages. They also make the type feel like it is in an earthquake, which is really fun.

1940 :: Cambridge, Massachusetts :: William Addison Dwiggins
An essay in the form of a letter, expanded and edited for publication, from William Addison Dwiggins to Rudolph Ruzicka on the subject of typeface design. It is especially interesting because it explains Dwiggins' own process and goes slightly beyond abstract "design" and outlines the interactions between Dwiggins and the type development organization at Mergenthaler Linotype. "G," mentioned in the text, is Chauncey H. Griffith, typeface designer in his own right, but also the vice president in charge of typeface development at the Mergenthaler Linotype
