great
This is a book that is so satisfying in so many levels, it gives a little background and a little history on many examples of type, but the most interest are the reproduction of the type. I really did not realise there was so many different and beautiful ways of replicated the alphabet. Some revive an era in my mind, others seem so modern that they could have been digitally produced.As a printmaker, I love the type, I collect it wherever I can find it, but with everything it is hard to source or date. This book is an absolute joy to read.

History of Type Past and Present
I really enjoyed reading and looking at this book. The author presents a history of typefaces with the inspiration for digital types. Each family of type has an overview history with a short history of the particular type and illustrations. Anyone with an interest in type, printing and books will enjoy this book and it deserves a place in your library.
