Description:"'The Elements of Typographic Style' is more than a typographic style guide. It is also a history of typographic usage and a brief encyclopedia of typographic concepts, resources, and traditions . In short, it is a lucid and authoritative desktop reference for everyone who works with written words. To writers, this book offers a whole new set of skills and tools for effective expression and communication. To readers, it offers a new dimension of reading: a deeper appreciation of letters and a deeper understanding of what they mean. For students and practitioners of graphic arts, it has become, as Herman Zapf initially proposed, 'the Typographer's bible'."-- form dust-jacket. Second edition.
