This great edition – first published in 1987 -reminds me in some ways to Robert Bringhurst‘s The Element of Typographic Style, but in a more straight to the point way (and maybe less in depth).

Sample chapters include the reading process, line composition and column type setting; all chapter and reflections illustrated with rich examples.

Written and designed by Jost Hochuli (graphic designer/typographer from the “modern Swiss typography”), Detail in Typography is available from Hyphen Press, Amazon, Typotheque and many other retailer and in various languages.

On this new website you will be able to buy (expansive) limited editions, high quality prints, from artists (Rankin, John Ross, Lee Funnell) that featured in GFSmith swatches, promotional books or marketing materials.

If you have a couple hundred pounds to spare, this is probably a good buy…

These notebooks are just gorgeous, and for only 15€, everybody should get one.
