New Castle, Delaware: Oak Knoll Press, Date: 2012. First edition. Hardcover. NEW. 103pp. Quarto [31 cm] Maroon cloth over boards with a gilt stamped title on the spine. Matching endpapers. With the pictorial dust jacket. From the publisher- "The text of the book provides an excellent historical background to the study of type history, but the primary value of this book is its illustrations. Each entry consists of a double-page spread showing three-fold photographic reproductions of the relevant types - a whole page of the book to show context, an actual-size sample to show scale, and a detailed enlargement to show a closer view of the type. All of the digital photographs for Historical Types have been specially commissioned (with special lighting) to show the type samples in a totally new way, with a size, detail, and clarity not seen before. Each set of illustrations is accompanied by a detailed but concise written commentary. The book also includes an extended introduction describing the book and dealing with significant material outside the scope of the commentaries. 2012. Oak Knoll Press ISBN 1584562986 US
