Good, but just not what I expected. Has explanations and discussion between examples, sharing ideas on letterform, text, and use of grid. Includes history and good points on computer and web-based usage. But I found I like other type books better (i.e. Carl Dair's 'Design With Type') ( )

Excellent! Everyone who works with words in some way — designers, editors, writers, and their employers and clients — should read this book. It is smartly organized and dense with insight and advice. The final section, "Grid," and the appendix are particularly noteworthy. Highly recommended. ( )

Great and simple book about Typography, Typeface and Publishing. Accessible... if you want a good introduction, that's a nice one. (I read the French translation) ( )
