5.0 out of 5 stars "Required reading" for designers, typographers, and students, October 16, 1998

Chad Dresbach "rickblane" (Winthrop University, Rock Hill, South Carolina, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Typography Now 2: Implosion (Paperback)

"Required reading" for designers, typographers, and students involved in Graphic Design today. One of the more incisive and effective books at covering the subject of contemporary typographic visual communication. You may not agree with it, but you'd better know about it.
