Product Description

Product Description

'If they let you, use left justification; Don't fool too much with the default values; Condense and expand the lettering; Avoid certain ligatures.' This is a recipe book of twenty-two tips in creating the best typography and twenty-two things you should never do with lettering. Secrets which many designers will never reveal. In an era of typographic fundamentalism and the cult of forms, this list of dos and don'ts explodes myths and provides a fresh view of typography.

4.0 out of 5 stars Did anyone proofread this book?, 21 Jul 2009
By Dr. Jonathan Rodgers (Faversham, Kent) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I agree with the previous reviewer, it's a nice little book, and of course it looks very good, as you'd expect, but at some level a triumph of form over content, as it's absolutely riddled with typos, which I raised with the publishers Actar, but to no avail.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is a good compilation of various tips, 27 Feb 2009
By Mr. D. L. Samson "Daniel Samson" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Well this book has a good selection of tips and working methods from the view of one designer, I would say the biggest issue with this book is that it does not take a very objective view. It is clearly one mans vision of how we should treat typography. This is in some respects a good thing as we do not end up with a watered down and bland book, but rather the view of an author.

The other thing that annoyed me about this book was the amount of typos and incorrect use of language, now I put this down to the fact the authors first language is not English. However there are some very strange typos throughout that easily could have been avoided.

All round a good short set of rules on typography.
