Erik Spiekermann (GBP11.49 at Amazon)

Sleeve notes

American type designer, Frederic Goudy, once said, "Anyone who would letterspace lower case would steal sheep." Well, in that case I have to admit to a bit of sheep rustling over the years.

Spiekerman and Ginger have distilled decades of typographic experience into a unique and entertaining guidebook which shows type as easy to use, easy to understand, and in the hands of an informed user, a powerful communications tool.

Stop Stealing Sheep is for everyone - good type reaches across all boundaries.

And in it's latest updated version, includes within its scope the web and other forms of on-line communication.

Sleeve notes

'An interesting and educational book' - 'Not as comprehensive or detailed as I had hoped' - 'The Typographers Bible'. Three reviews and all coming out with a different take on the subject. What's certain is that Phil Baines and Andrew Haslam know their stuff - and as lecturers at St Martin's they should do. Worth a look at least.
