Not the stuff type is made of,
By Prof of type (Toronto) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Stuff Type Is Made Of (Spiral-bound)
Forget the ending preposition. There are too many mistakes in this book to use it. From illegible type, bad printing, and examples that do not illustrate the points being made, this is not a book to buy. Save your $$$ and get the book, "The Complete Typographer" by Christopher Perfect. After years of teaching typography, this is a book that covers the basics and more. Interesting is that both of these books are from the same publishers. For a more advanced look at type get "The Elements of Typographic Style.
