5.0 out of 5 stars well worth the money, 7 Jan 2004

"ploomboom" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Type Companion for the Digital Artist (Against the Clock Graphic Art) (Paperback)

This book cleared up a lot of questions I had about type. It's clear and takes you from beginner to having a professional understanding of type and is good on the practical considerations which helps you avoid bad typography.
