 for English (and German) readers July 22, 2008

This is a great analytical work by a master of modern typography. This book is meant to be read. The visuals by themselves are not very informative: they accompany the text, like the final premises of very simple yet profound arguments on good typography. I would recommend it to anyone interested in penetrating the craft of typography.
As a native French speaker, I have to say that the French translation is far less than satisfactory. Continual poor syntax, bad use of key words and use of foreign words make it incomprehensible in many instances. I finally resorted to the English translation.
 Maybe a classic, but not really useful June 20, 2008

This book may be a classic, but I was "mislead" to think this was a book with good examples of typography, but no. Many examples, but extremely worthless if you ask me. Get a new book instead of this classic.
