4.0 out of 5 stars Time for an update., June 8, 2000
By "instsamp" (BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
I have reviewed and ordered this book as a text for my Typography students. It is very encompassing and thorough, providing many examples of typefaces and type usage. I probably would have given this review 5 stars if this was not the same publication that appeared in 1992. This book is worth keeping refreshed. The authors have gone to great lengths to provide excellent "contemporary" examples, so after 8 years it is time to address the issue of contemporary. Still, it is the best I could find out of many, and have adopted it for my course.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worths to read again and again, July 6, 2000
By JB (One Cave in the Afghanistan Rain Forest) - See all my reviews
To those who wants to know more about typography, this book teaches you enough required knowledge so you can study more advanced subjects. It offers a brief but useful introduction on the history of typography. I'll recommend this book to anyone who is interested in typography.
