A Personal, Typographical Christmas

Here are five books I will be seeking out in the aftermath of my Christmas holiday: Anatomy of a Typeface by Alexander S. Lawson, Type: The Secret History of Letters by Simon Loxley, The Elements of Typographic Style by Robert Bringhurst, Grid Systems: Principles of Organizing Type by Kimberly Elam and Typographic Systems by Kimberly Elam. I love typography.

Okay. So only one person has cared enough to leave their two cents. How depressing! Especially considering all the trouble I went through posting this in the first place. Well you can leave a comment if you want. It might cheer me up.

The Elements of Typographic Style is a pretty great book; full of all sorts of detailed info. A little heavy on the reading though. I might recommend Ellen Lupton’s Thinking with Type, which has lot of great visuals and a bit of humor injected.
