Editorial Reviews

Review

"Frank Romano is a combination of Nostradamus and Henny Youngman for the printing industry, and this book is vintage Frank. On top of that he is a noted practitioner and teacher, who is reported to have invented the typo, and he has cleverly scattered examples throughout the book as a training exercise. I heartily recommend it as fun-filled, mind-expanding experience."(Larry Warter, director of new business development for Fuji \ Photo Film U.S.A., Inc.), -- Larry Warter, director of new business development for Fuji/Photo Film U.S.A., Inc.

Frank Romano has been entertaining readers since before I was born. I heard him in the womb. -- Richard Romano, MicroPublishing News

Frank Romano has published the "Frank Talk" column for over 20 years with his view of the world of technology. Today's readers will find his observations just as funny and pointed as ever. -- Gene Gable, Seybold Publications

Frank may not have invented printing, but he did invent the typo, samples of which he has liberally sprinkled throughout "Desktop Follies." We guarantee you will open this book to any page and laugh. -- Digital Printing Report

From the Back Cover

In 1977 Frank Romano founded TypeWorld, a twice-monthly newspaper dedicated to typographic communication. A continuing column called "Frank Talk" was filled with comments, one-liners, poor poetry, and general observations. Over the years readers have asked for this material to be collectedand destroyed. Well, it's too late. It is all in this book.
