Description

San Francisco, California, U.S.A.: Bedford Arts, 1991. From the flap: " This book grew out of Stone's observation that very few of us are familiar with the history of typography, nor do we have a formal basis for making decisions about type and design.The three chapters of On Stone address three fundamental needs of type users. The first chapter provides a gounding in the origins and evolution of typography.Chapter 2, the heart of the volume, offers a wide-ranging series of graphic examples of the ways in which type and design can be used in many contexts in books, periodicals, promotional pieces.and so on.In the final chapter, all eighteen members of the Stone type family are exhibited in the style of formal specimens." The front flap looks like it is price-clipped but there is a price sticker on the bottom of the same flap. This book is heavy/oversize so there will probably be extra shipping charges. Please contact me with your location for exact S&H. Oversize Trade. Near Fine.. Folio - over 12" - 15" tall.
