The most important feature of this book is the systematic approach undertaken by Mr.
Biegeleisen in presenting a library of typefaces with such clarity and consistency.
The book contains over 700 typefaces but only 75 have been featured for large viewing and analysis.
This selection represents a good one from the practical point of view of the typographer, artist and layout man.
Each featured typeface is shown in its entirety from A to Z and in jumbo size, so that it may be clearly studied, analyzed, copied or traced.
In addition--and this is a most helpful feature--there is a thorough analysis of each type in terms of its design origin, characteristics and practical uses.
A unique self-measuring pica scale tells at a glance the casting width of 6 or 7 sizes of each typeface shown, in a graduated reduction scale.
A clean very presentable copy.
