Meet the Typographer

This title, designed and illustrated by the award-winning French illustrator Gaby Bazin, is a colourful and accessible guide to the art of the typographer, covering the journey and history of type from engraving on stone, wooden Chinese blocks, then to Gutenberg's movable wooden type, and through to metal type, font sizes, and to the mechanical printing of today.

The book is lithographed using three colour separations on uncoated paper, as befits a book on printing. If you're a fan of print, or just love beautifully illustrated books this is for you.
