A nicely produced overview of historical typefaces, focusing on the particular high spots of type design. Good illustrations and highlights.

Nicely reproduced description of various types and with examples, some enlarged, organized by 'era'. Said to be a companion volume to Stan Knight's Historic Scripts.
