What? Title is misleading. Content is Horrid.
I ordered this book before I saw the cover. I shouldn't have. Written in 1983 it certainly isn't up-to-date. Apparently it was updated in 1998, but I didn't see anything revised but a new introduction. The body type is hand lettered calligraphy. I am not kidding.

Sure, you can find newer books that will walk you through software to do typesetting, but this book has some of the timeless information to introduce you to what type is all about. It has some historic information about fonts, info on leading and layouts and so on. I found this book at the library, and found it informative enough that I chose to buy it. The information did help me decide which fonts to use for a poetry book I put together. I recommend it especially for beginners, or someone who wants an in depth overview. |
