5.0 out of 5 stars Legendary Book, March 18, 2009

Neil O'reilly (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Art of Typography (Hardcover)

I purchased this book when first published some 20 years ago and read it through about 5 times. It was inspirational and the book holds near legendary status amongst the type and design community. As does its author, who is now sadly passed away. If you have any interest in typography, this book is a must read.

This review is from: Art of Typography (Hardcover)

I'd suggest picking up something else instead. Bringhurst would be a good choice.
