The way we write mirrors our mood and character. It is the way we project ourselves to the world - and other people often judge us by our handwriting. The aim of Teach Yourself Better Handwriting is for people with any style of writing to be able to relate to the book and learn from it. This practical and informative book will help you to improve your handwriting and develop a mature and individual style. It is specifically written for adults and uses self-diagnosis test to identify problems, and 'before' and 'after' examples to illustrate common faults. This book covers everything from holding a pen, to the difficulties that left-handers face and problems that may be caused by medical conditions. Teach Yourself Better Handwriting does not try and inpose any particular handwriting model. Instead, it offers alternatives and encourages you to experiment and choose the one that suits you best. This edition includes a revised introduction and epilogue, as well as even more practical exercises to assist the reader.
Just My Type is not just a font book, but a book of stories. About how Helvetica and Comic Sans took over the world. About why Barack Obama opted for Gotham, while Amy Winehouse found her soul in 30s Art Deco. About the great originators of type, from Baskerville to Zapf, or people like Neville Brody who threw out the rulebook, or Margaret Calvert, who invented the motorway signs that are used from Watford Gap to Abu Dhabi. About the pivotal moment when fonts left the world of Letraset and were loaded onto computers ... and typefaces became something we realised we all have an opinion about. As the Sunday Times review put it, the book is 'a kind of Eats, Shoots and Leaves for letters, revealing the extent to which fonts are not only shaped by but also define the world in which we live.' This edition is available with both black and silver covers.
