This is one of those books that every designer should have read and probably own. It contains a lot of useful information including history, theory, application, a lot of examples, and a fair share of philosophical food for thought.

I would recommend it as a great addition to any design library, and for students as a follow up to a basic book on type.

This book seems to give a good history of type, but was hard to read for me. Pages were very busy with lots of sidebars, making it difficult to read, and many good layout examples were small and in black and white. I'm returning this book. If you want one good, easy to read book on type, get Ellen Lupton's "Thinking with Type." Less information, but much easier on the eyes to read, concise and clear.

Quick, on time, and it was a Good Condition used book. Which is just what I ordered!

Hands down, without a doubt, this is the BEST book on typography that I have ever read.

From the history of type to page layout, this book is a thorough reference in a little more than 200 pages.

Pictures accommodate every page, yet there is a TON of substance to read if you're interested.

I would recommend this book to anybody interested in graphic design and page layout (this applies to web design as well).

Great book!
