3.0 out of 5 stars Average. I Suggest Another Book Instead 24 Nov 2000
By W. Todd Dominey - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
If there were no other options for book buyers looking for an informative reference on classic typography, then "Finer Points" would be an essential book to buy. But because I've also read "The Elements of Typographic Style" there is little point in owning "Finer Points," for "Elements" covers everything here plus a whole lot more. I purchased "Finer Points" after reading "Elements" thinking there may be more offered here, but most of the imformation is duplicated. I suggest gettng "Elements" instead. A complete, well-designed, more up-to-date reference than this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for the very interested people, but not for all 24 Mar 2000
By Big Mau - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Are you obssesed with typography? Do you have a good library for your personal typographic needs? Do you have an adiction for the very specific typography? I recommend this book only for the people that have the courage (and the money) to read more about typography. If you are a student, or a beginner in professional affairs, I doubt you need this book. For the others... what are you waiting for? I think strongly that if you really focus in the essence of each chapter you will understand more (but only a little more) of this small but important matter that is the space on typography.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not your first typography book, but a very great tenth one. 5 Sep 2000
By JB - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Many years ago when I was studying Apple Computer's QuickDraw GX technology, I was amazed by the way old timers set their removable types, and how difficult it was to implement their tricks to the digital realm. If you're interested in the ways they set hotmetal types, this book is for you.

For example, this book introduces you optical alignment. That is a trick to compose a drop capital letter a little bit left, so your eyes will see it as _fully aligned_ instead of caved in a little. Even if you don't use TrueType GX (I doubt any of you ever use it), this book still can teach you a lot.
