Letters of Credit
The revolution in typesetting - a revolution that over the past two decades has eliminated a five-hundred-year-old system of hot metal production and replaced it with one of photo-generated and computer-driven composition - shows no sign of winding down. This book, more than any other we know, traces the steps that went into that revolution and simultaneously makes the argument that the letter forms themselves are in process of evolution. Tracy argues that, whether they are of the sixteenth or the twentieth century, the forms that comprise our alphabet are subject to the same rules of good taste, proportion, and clarity that have always obtained.

Packed And Ready To Go
Tracy Baptiste is devoted to satisfying everyone but herself. Now it's her turn and nothing is falling into place. Her daughter is marrying and moving away. Her husband is self-absorbed and callous. Her friends are preoccupied with their lives. This is not what she's bargained for. Can daydreaming about her sexy Italian co-worker help her escape the disappointment? Walter Baptiste's job is in jeopardy and he's bored at home. He's found an acceptable outlet and she's half his age and twice as fun. Playing house is the distraction he needs until the reality turns out to be more than he's bargained for. While Walter's house of lies crumbles, can Tracy find the courage to follow her instincts and put her life back together?
Arabic Type-Making in the Machine Age
Arabic is the third most widely used script in the world, and gave rise to one of the richest manuscript cultures of mankind. Its representation in type has engaged printers, engineers, businesses and designers since the 16th century, and today most digital devices render Arabic type. Yet the evolution of the printed form of Arabic, and its development from metal to pixels, has not been charted before. Arabic Type-Making in the Machine Age provides the first comprehensive account of this history using previously undocumented archival sources. In this richly illustrated volume, Titus Nemeth narrates the evolution of Arabic type under the influence of changing technologies from the perspective of a practitioner, combining historical research with applied design considerations.
