"The essential guide to classical book design" according to D. A. Holman. there is little to say other than the fact that this book is essential reading for all current and aspiring book designers. Tschichold's views seem limiting at first, but his knowledge is based on years of careful research into the basis of our written culture. many will choose to deviate from his instruction in small or great ways, but to practice the craft of book typography (or typography in general) without this information would be unwise.. A must read for any designer. Eric Heupel This collection of 23 essays on book design and typography should be read at least once by all typographers and students of design. Written over a period spanning 42 years, these essays cover many aspects of typography from paper color to tight typesetting to page proportions. A few of the ideas presented in the essays may indeed be outdated now (due mainly to the economic freedoms in modern digital design), but they are few and are still important from an historical persective. Folloowing the rules of design presented here will help ensure a well designed book that does not detract from the contents in any way and best serve. It's true to the form of THE book Seafood Hung Neither my business nor interests is related to design in any way. I bought it quite simply because the book oozes quality.Mr Tschichold discusses in this work what's "beautiful" for a book. When the demonstrated result made ME, who has no interest in design, pull it off the shelf and pay the hefty price to own a copy, the author has kept his word.
