- "This book ... was intended then as a practical workbook. For us today it represents an almost nostalgic look at a time when typefaces had certain limitations imposed on them by the constraints of hot-metal casting. Many of our limitless possibilities today could well be served by studying the work from that simpler time."--Colophon.
