Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Completely updated, this book features the definitive rules of engagement forpracticing the art of typography. Illustrations throughout. Book News Annotation:The latest, revised edition of Bringhurst's type bible serves as a
history of typographic art, an encyclopedia of typographic symbols
and concepts, and a tour of typesetting technologies, from foundry
metal to digital script, from A (in short) to Zapf. Bringhurst, a
typographer, book designer, and poet, writes of the principles of
typography as "not a set of dead conventions but the tribal customs
of the magic forest, where ancient voices speak from all directions
and new ones move to unremembered forms....The subject of this book
is not typographic solitude, but the old, well-traveled roads at the
core of the tradition: paths that each of us is free to follow or
not, and to enter and leave when we choose...if only we know the
paths are there."
