This is THE book for printing history. Why had I never heard of it before? Why? why?

It's excellently concise, well exampled and very readable. THE book.

A short meditation on the typography and perseverance of the Roman alphabet by designer Warren Chappell. Beautifully designed, as one would expect from Chappell, and with a strong cautionary note at the end.

“The Sleeping Beauty” is a good book with a main point of one-day bad things will turn out good. This is conveyed through the use of the characters. For throughout the story the family know that the daughter will one day get sick and they try to avoid this yet it still happens and one hundred years later she is awoken by a prince. These characters had me engaged and interested in seeing what would happen next and how it would be handle. They kept me as the reader fully involved in the story line. Along with the characters I will say that the illustrations kept me intrigued because they were done in such a way that it seemed as if they were painted on each page special and each color was very vibrant. On another note something that I found very interesting was that on some of the pages there were bars of music so if the reader had instrumental talents he or she could play the song that was relevant to that section.… (mere)

This slim book is a solid history of Roman alphabet letterforms. However, the author does become a bit melodramatic when describing the evils of machine typography in the last chapter.
