Elizabeth’s Reviews > The Book of Books: 500 Years of Graphic Innovation > Status Update

Library find! A book the size of my torso containing scans of a particular Amsterdam university's collection of rare books (and is thus eurocentric,) I'm admiring not only the chronology of printing it shows, but also how we DIDN'T get it right and how the fonts & typesets that we take for granted today were, in fact, the product of hundreds of years of trial and error.
