Handsomely produced, this large format, hardcover book contains over a century of Stanford Daily front pages (most of which haven't been seen since they were first published). Each front page has been digitally imaged from the original bound volumes in the University's archives and is presented in its entirely, exactly as it ran. Organized chronologically, each page includes all the headlines, stories, photos, weather reports, ads, and that made up the day's news.
