A wealth of examples, Jan 7 2008

This review is from: New Vintage Type: Classic Fonts for the Digital Age (Hardcover)
As all of Heller's books, a beautiful presentation. My own preference for historical referencing of type especially endears this book to me. It will be a valuable library addition for whoever appreciates historical type, & post modern typography.

Great book, very specific collection of examples. One can not only get some information about how it was, one can open mind for future creative work.
