Editorial Reviews

Review

"Praise for Computers and Typography Vol. 1:...Make no mistake - a genuine revolution is taking place. The voices recorded in this volume are its protagonists and witnesses.' - Douglas Williamson, Logos 'There is so little available [literature] that deals with type design...in conjunction with computers. Sassoon's book is one answer to this.' - R. Johnson, Writing & Computers 'An exceptionally wide range of articles discussing the impact of computers on typography. I recommend it to all who want an accessible introduction to the issues involved.' - Ewan Clayton, The Scribe"
