Trade Review
"Typography is a book whose importance has not diminished since its first publication in 1979. The points it makes, the way it approaches the questions of mimesis, fictionality, and figurality, is unique. There are no comparable books, or books that could supersede it." —Rodolphe Gasché, SUNY, Buffalo
