Hey, look at this. We have a fantastic book about fonts and design. And it has a cool font on its cover. This is THE go-to book if you need design help, and the author continues to revise it regularly.

Clare-Dragonfly I've heard good things about this book but the cover design strikes me as awful! 😦 8y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Tanner Judging from your Design with Type book, I'm not surprised! 8y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Clare-Dragonfly I bought this book in about 1990. Our perspective on fonts and some aspects of design have changed since then, so it could feel dated to you. 8y
MeganAnn I still have this book from college! One of the few college course books I actually wanted to keep... 👍🏻 8y
EloisaJames That's wonderful!! 8y
