Beskrivning
Hartley & Marks Publishers, Vancouver. 1999. Second edition, revised and updated by Robert Bringhurst. xx, 315 pp. Large 8vo. Soft bound. Illustrated in black and white. Warren Chappell [1904–1991], a former student of Rudolf Koch and designer of typefaces Trajanus and Lydian, gives the best survey of the written word in print. This is not a plain book on the history of printing but rather an effort to recapitulate the essential story of western calligraphy and printing. It is a story of how men and materials have developed the art of written and printed communication. With more than 200 illustrations the lively narrative of the printed word is exemplified.
