5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting review of a typographic masters work, 6 Feb 2001
By A Customer
I learnt a lot from reading this book and studying the great collection of Jans work presented in it.

The presentation is excellent and I definately found it inspiring.

The only thing it doesn't cover is how to pronounce his name!
