Is This The Typography Book I Have Been Searching For? I LURVE type and great typography, and yet there have been almost no books on the subject that I could recommend without reservation. The best so far has been Robert Bringhurst’s The Elements of Typographic Style, but it is far too hard to get, was last revised in 1997, and has minimal coverage of practical digital typographic issues.       Now, the book I have wanting all these years may be about to appear at last. The Complete Manual of Typography by James Felici has been announced for publication in September. I am really looking forward to seeing this. Felici reportedly writes a column on type for the Adobe website. I haven’t found it so far though. 10:44:19 AM    Add a comment.
