Summary: A Treasure Trove of What Goes into Great Looking Type
Comment: I always buy books with the idea of reselling on Amazon.com after I'm finished. It's not working in this case: My Felici looks like it's been left out in the rain and attacked by our dog. That's because I've dragged it everywhere while carefully making my way through it, a few enjoyable pages at a time. Very few books get that kind of time and attention. One measure of a technical book, I've found, is the completeness of its index. Felici's runs to fully 35 pages, in addition to a glossary of similar length! What's not there is also telling. Felici doesn't pad his book with type specimen pages or with machine- or software-specific how-to-do-it steps. This one is a winner!

Summary: The FINAL WORD on professional typography!
Comment: I've been aware of Jim Felici's extensive knowlege of typography through his work as a journalist and editor for various graphic arts publications. When I learned he had written this book, I knew it would contain a wealth of knowledge. This book should be the basis of a required course of study for any professional who works with type. We've all struggled to read so many POORLY typeset pages, we're now painfully aware that GOOD typesetting really matters! Anyone who works with type should care about producing eminently readable pages, and The Complete Manual of Typography will teach you how to achieve that goal. A great cover-to-cover read as well as a handy on the spot reference tool. You'll keep it within easy reach right next to your Chicago Manual of Style!

Summary: Fantastic Complete Resource
Comment: After searching for sources on typography, I chose this one based on reviews and the index. A+++ decision on my part as it has to be the best reference available. Reading it has been more than a pleasure as it is so complete and well written. Mr. Felici discusses each area of typography with fine detail and clarity. The book is perfectly organized, concise, beautifully typeset. Anyone and everyone who wishes to communicate well with whatever software program available to them and for whatever purpose (graphic design, print, desktop publshing or web) would benefit greatly from Mr. Felici's Complete Manual of Typography!
Thanks, James for all the details in one outstanding source.
