A pleasant little book, reprinting Schmoller's presentation on the two, Mardersteig and Tshichold. On page 66, one finds the quote, "Two men stand out as the greatest typographic motive forces of the 20th century: Stanley Morison and Jan Tschichold". The quote is attributed to none other than Jan Tshichold. Brash, but not wrong.
