"The Oxford Lectern Bible represents the full flowering of Bruce Rogers's genius as a designer of books. In the grandeur of its conception, in its classic severity without ornamentation, in the smooth flow of words across the page, and in the mastery of the subtle depth of impression of type on paper, the Oxford Bible takes its place among the noblest works done since the invention of movable type." - Blumenthal - Bruce Rogers: A Life in Letters, p.159
