Looking up typography nerd stuff on the net today and found this most excellent new book, The Typographic Desk Reference. A brand new resource of type terms and categories for organizing the mazillions of different typefaces out there.
Credit is due to I Love Typography for this tip off since the book has only just been published in the last couple months and is not being distributed through the usual channels. You can get it from Amazon or from Oak Knoll themselves. I vote Oak Knoll to keep Amazon from skimming off the top. Can't wait to receive our order!
I'm going to have to get a bigger shelf to keep up with our growing collection of type books. Thanks to Hyphen Press for keeping a steady stream of new books and relevant old books in print. I'm also a huge fan of Baseline Magazine for quality articles and great printing. Their magazine is the best I've seen with thorough and well-researched articles printed on great papers with awesome effects. Wish they could all be so nice. You can browse the latest issue online but the paper copies are the real prize.
Thanks for visiting!
