Won't turn you into a master April 15, 2008
It's informative, it's inspirational, it's philosophically engaging, it's warm and welcoming. But it might not turn you into a master typographer.
A beautiful read, this book presents history and theory into well-thought, easy to swallow bite-sized chunks. Along with exercises, this kinda gives it away as a student's textbook, which might be less than what you're after, if you're a working designer wanting to advance your typographic skills. It might still worth getting the book. Did you knew Gutenberg used alternate glyphs and ligatures? I know now. Smart guy, this Gutenberg.
Typography Taught Terrifically April 5, 2008
Simple and elegant this book has engaged me even further in my exploration of good use of typography. Anne's fresh and encompassing approach makes it easy to get involved in using type well. The book has several exercises and a wealth of information that helps appreciate type, and use typography. The advice is not software specific making it useful for many years to come, and encompasses the printed page and web/screen use of type. A great grounding book in Type and Typography.
 The foundations of typography; very readable March 11, 2008
This is the book you should read if you are in any way interested in typography - and that includes all those interested in the web.
The topics are basic and historical, exactly what is needed for a firm foundation; it's refreshingly easy to read for a technical book.
Very Informative March 1, 2008
The book has good information, but oh man, so much of the type is so tiny, I need a magnifier to read it. What's that about?
Interesting/Helpful February 17, 2008
This book is very informative and easy to read. There are a lot of examples that display the concepts described in this book which help reinforce them. If you're interested in learning more about typography/design or are taking a class in these areas, I definitely recommend 'Thinking With Type.'
