Thinking with Type, Second Revised and Expanded Edition: A Critical Guide for Designers, Writers, Editors, and Students (Design Briefs) Paperback by Ellen Lupton (Princeton Architectural Press)



The content is super just what I needed to help me understand typography. But its nearly unreadable on my tablet Samsung galaxy note 10.1 with the kindle app, it's locked in to the portrait orientation the type is very small some parts are unreadable as the type must be below 5pts. This is a shame as the book is really nice read and doesn't disappear up its own backside with to much technical detail. It is very disappointing that another good book has been spoilt by careless formating and no testing to make sure it works on all formats.

Our all time best selling book is now available in a revised and expanded second edition. Thinking with Type is the definitive guide to using typography in visual communication, from the printed page to the computer screen. This revised edition includes forty-eight pages of new content, including the latest information on style sheets for print and the web, the use of ornaments and captions, lining and non-lining numerals, the use of small caps and enlarged capitals, as well as information on captions, font licensing, mixing typefaces, and hand lettering. Throughout the book, visual examples show how to be inventive within systems of typographic form--what the rules are and how to break them. Thinking with Type is a type book for everyone: designers, writers, editors, students, and anyone else who works with words. The popular online companion to Thinking with Type (www.thinkingwithtype.com) has been revised to reflect the new material in the second edition.
