Bruno Maag chairman of the Typocircle introduced the funny man to the London crowd at St. Brides Library.

then it was time to throw some food....

I bought the book about a month ago and read it right after finishing "Alpha Beta" (a contrast in style). Alessio's book is a scream yet very good information. It is a very quick read and will make your day with a broad smile. It is sort of like having Father Guido Sarducci (old SNL character) teaching history of letterforms. Alessio is a guy I just have to meet. I at least owe him an email for writing such a fun book.

Just curious, is his book available in the US? I tried Amazon, but no.

Definitly buy it from Alessio. You get a personal note from him which is worth a chuckle alone.

Alessio's talk review, someone is writing a review. It will be posted on http://www.typocircle.co.uk/ soon and they are suppose to put up my pics of it.. too. soon.

I can attest that his book is worth the purchase. I bought a copy last year and read it in one sitting. Very entertaining. I think it could even be used--for the most part--as a way to educate the young typophile. :^) Thanks for sharing pics Vince.

I purchased my copy from the fontzone store. If you have plastic, just get it from Alessio's site listed at the top. (buymyfonts.com)
