I was hoping for a guide that would help me get more creative using and combining different fonts, instead I got this long history of where certain types came from. I found this book dry and boring and not at all helpful to me.

I ordered this book on March 31st. It got here today, May 4th! I am in college taking this course and didn’t expect to be without my text book for this long. It is unacceptable to do business with a company who cannot ship faster! What gives???

The book is pretty dry. But it is good if you wanted to know the rules of typography.
Rating: 3 / 5
This book makes it sound like it’s going to tell you how to make unique typography. However, it just tells you the history of type and typographical styles. In my opinion unless you are taking a class on the history of type this book is not useful for any other purpose.

This boks is considered a must buy book for any one in typography or graphic design. I do not enjoy it one bit. It is a hard read, and it loses my interest. It is not good for reference at all and because the paragraphs are so long winded that you could not find what you were looking for. This may be a book more for the advanced typographer or designer, definatly not for a beginner.
