5.0 out of 5 stars The best typography book I've read, 9 Feb 2009
I teach graphic design at HND level and so I read tons of typography books, but this is the only one I set as mandatory reading for the students. It's extremely thorough and wonderfully pedantic. Highly recommended if you care enough to do things properly (which, as a graphic designer, you should!).
