"A basic but broad overview of typography, probably best for the uninitiated, but fun for any typophile. This attracted more bus book flirtations than any other book this year. Four stars (as opposed to three) because of the awesome, AWESOME page from a Book of Hours (an illuminated text)."

"Very interesting. For me, reading this book consolidated and explicitly stated what I intuitively "knew" about type design and uses."

"Very simple, very basic, but well done. Lupton puts things into words that I knew but hadn't necessarily thought consciously about."
