Typeface: Classic Typography for Contemporary Design Paperback – July 8, 2009

This book is great for type references, every type section contains a sidebar with similar types, for beginners that don't aren't familiar with the basic families this is a great addition to their library.My only complain was that since they sent the book in an envelope (even if it is a protected one) some pages "took the hit" and came a bit crumpled. In other occasions my books come in cardboard, which protects them better.

Very useful type book, good selection of san and san serifs fonts and the sample sizes for body copy.

I have quite a few typography and graphic design books. This is one of my top three that I go to when I need inspiration. Very classic in nature and well worth the money.

Great typography book.
