FontSite notes: If you are at all interested in the history and development of printing and typography, you will enjoy this book. It provides short and informative chapters on all the major typefaces and their designers.
FontSite notes: What desktop publishing can aspire to become. This is a wonderful and inspiring book. Pre-computer desktop publishing, this book was originally published in 1967.
FontSite notes: The zen and poetry of type and typography. Bringhurst’s book is probably our all-time favorite. If we could only recommend one book on typography, this would be it.
FontSite notes: This Hartley & Marks edition is much more than a guide for would-be book designers. It is a feast of typographical information and inspiration for the desktop publisher committed to designing beautiful yet functional, classic yet modern documents and publications. (This edition was edited by Robert Bringhurst, author of The Elements of Typographic Style.)
