Thinking With Type 2nd Ed: A Critical Guide for Designers, Writers, Editors, and Students (Design Briefs)

Great book

As a newbie to graphics/typography (at least in the sense of having to deal with it in any kind of a professional context), I've found this to be an excellent primer to getting your head in the right place to think about typography and basic layout. It's well written and a lot of the examples are beautifully illustrated, so it serves a double-shift as a prompt if you're stuck for an idea with something you're working on. Essential.

A nice, well illustrated and well designed book, going through the basics (and some nerdy details) of typography in a rather inspiring way. Easy to read.

Read it cover to cover and am so happy about both the quality of the contents and the passion you can see expressed in every single page. Very clear and well presented.

I love typography and this book allows you to understand all the fundaments of type in a easy and interesting way. I like the layout and size of the book. It also contains little tasks at the end of each chapter as a review of what you have read.

Excellent book. Loved reading this and as a graphic designer despite knowing a lot of the things mentioned this book has given me a much better understanding of everything to do with type.

To say this book was sold as used. It is in outstanding condition. I will definitely use the seller again

I bought this book as a step to improve my use of typography on the web. It is very informative and captivating, with brilliant teaching material. Highly Recommended for designers in print and/or web.

"Thinking with Type" proved to be just what I was looking for. As someone who has studied graphic design for two years and works both with web and print, I needed a book on type which not only provided a theoretical basis but was also practical, explaining how theoretical design decisions could be applied though print software (inDesign in this case) and in on-line media. I knew a little about type from my studies and practical work but wanted a book to take me beyond the basics maybe to the level of a competent practitioner . Brim full of examples, there is plenty of inspiration here, and all of the ideas are more than amply illustrated. Infact, the wealth of examples is one of the strengths of the book. There is a lot out of information there about typography but this book is the most useful I have so far come across. I liked the extensive examples from many different traditions. What to look for in typeface design and how the anatomy of type influences the practical use of a typeface are particularly well explained. Layout, paragraph formatting, kerning and tracking and other aspects of spacing are very clearly covered. There are always plenty examples of typefaces shown. I particularly liked the notes about "type crimes". The book is beautifully illustrated and designed.Its printed on very nice ( and durable) paper stock. This is a good thing as my copy is in for a hard time as no doubt its going to get plenty of use. Great value, up-to-date and full of useful stuff for anyone wanting to make a beautiful (or just plain workman-like) job of type in print or on screen.

Apresenta muito bem os conceitos de tipografia, e a relação no processo de editoração, incluindo os marcadores de revisão.

Un nuevo básico del diseño

This is an amazing book, both the content and the layout are amazing to read and look at. I’m so happy with my purchase!

Helped me gain an understanding of when and how to use text in my YouTube videos and future design endeavours. Never thought I could get so fired up about typography
