Here are some links to book reviews:

Typophile has a Books section which includes some reviews by fellow Typophiles... You can find it by going to the RESOURCES link at the top of this page, or by clicking here.

The Type Directors Club has a Reviews section on its website.

The TypeBooks website hasn’t been updated since 2002, but that doesn’t mean you won’t find useful reviews there. :-)

Happy reading!

P.S. And speaking of Jost Hochuli, the English translation of his Detail in typography is finally available from Hyphen...

That is quite the list — a bit overwhelming. What of those books have you read and what do you think? Why do you like them? For whom would you recommend them (i.e. type designers, graphic designers, editors, web developers, and so on)?

The Typographer's Library

I have a small library (3 books, eh?) of books on typography. This includes:

The Elements of Typographic style by Robert Bringhurst
Thinking with Type by Ellen Lupton
Stop Stealing Sheep and Find out how Type Works by Erik Spiekermann and E.M Ginger

What books would you recommend to add to this? Give a little review if you can.

Thanks,
