I liked the book much. This lovely, well-written one is concerned with creating beautiful typography and is essential for professionals who work with typographic designs. The Elements of Typographic Style teaches the history of and the artistic and practical perspectives on a variety of type families that are available in Europe and America today. Firstvwhen I found this book some weeks ago (downloaded from rapidshare http://rapid4me.com) I didn't like its context. But my friend who is a specialist in languages persuaded me to read. And now I don't regret the time I used for reading it.
The last section of the book classifies and displays many type families, offers a glossary of typography terms, and lists type designers and type foundries. The book briefly mentions digital typography, but otherwise ignores it, focusing instead on general typography and page- and type-design issues. Its examples include text in a variety of languages--including English, Russian, German, and Greek--which is particularly helpful if your work has a multinational focus. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
