Book Reviews of Beyond the Mac Is Not a Typewriter: More Typographic Insights and Secrets
Book Review: One Must Begin Somewhere
Summary: 5 Stars
For all of us who learned typing but not typography before we first acquired a desk top computer with a "word processing program," Williams' clear guidance steers us away from the more obvious mistakes too many of us have already made in great profusion. Ordinary tools in the hands of ordinary people can turn out surprisingly good typography. Williams leads you by the hand down the beginning of the right path.This handy little book is not just for Mac users, either. For some techniques in some applications, folks not blessed with a Mac will not benefit from the detailed "how to" instructions, but the principles apply to any platform. So, do your typograpgically ignorant friends (even those on the dark side) a favor; give them a copy of Ms. Williams' book.
Summary of Beyond the Mac Is Not a Typewriter: More Typographic Insights and Secrets
Think of this as the typography equivalent of Strunk and White's The Elements of Style. This little book not only defines the principles governing type but explains the logic behind them so readers can understand and see what looks best and why.General Books
