ELEMENTS OF TYPOGRAPHIC STYLE

If you think you are super confident with the basics of typography, only then should you go for this book, or else this book can blow you up. The depth of the content is kind blowing. And it's a very very slow read, as it may take a while to digest every page. But it's worth it.

Good book and excellent service

I liked the a fact that you have informed me the availability. I received all original copies. Thanks good.Only one copy got damaged little bit at the corner. Rest are good.Good service.Thankssarang

By far the best book on typography I have seen or own. (And I own two shelves full.)

Un libro che ogni tipografo, grafico o designer dovrebbe avere. Grazie alla quantità e qualità dei contenuti permette di applicare tutte le regole di buona tipografia non solo per imitazione, ma per comprensione. Spiegati magistralmente e assorbiti questi concetti verranno applicati nella vita reale in maniera naturale, come respirare.Una vera bibbia della tipografia.

Dieses Buch schildert die Grundlagen des guten Textsatzes in gut verständlicher Form. Darüber hinaus wird immer wieder an den passenden Stellen auf die Entwicklungsgeschichte der Typografie von den ersten Keilschriften bis zum Digitaldruck und der Bildschirmtypografie eingegangen. Ausführliche Anhänge, die unter anderem einen Katalog der wichtigsten Schriftarten enthalten, vervollständigen das Buch zum Referenzwerk.Für jeden der ein berufliches Interesse an Typografie hat sollte dieses Buch Pflichtlektüre sein. Für jeden, der sich privat für unsere wichtigste Informationstechnologie interessiert bietet das Buch viele detaillierte Einblicke in das ansonsten eher versteckte Schaffen der Typografen.Wer darüber nachdenkt, sich dieses Buch zuzulegen, sollte wissen dass Bildschirmdesign zwar immer wieder tangiert wird, der Hauptaugenmerk aber klar auf gedrucktem Text liegt.Dennoch: uneingeschränkte Leseempfehlung!

This is the most perfect book about typography. It approaches letters from a historical and impassioned perspective -- the author is also a poet.Section headers are heart-felt imperatives, such as "1.1.2 Letters have a life and dignity of their own".The book answers typical questions like font pairing and text layout in the context of fundamental concepts of the geometry of letters and the page. Chapter 8 is perhaps the most fascinating -- "Shaping the Page" -- in which Bringhurst compares proportions of the page to musical scales.If you wish to ascend beyond "font nazi" to "type lover and geek" this is the book for you.You can pry my copy from my cold dead hands.

Quem goste de tipografia e o design deve mercar já este livro.Já!Somente por ver como está desenhado merece ser comprado.
