Combining strength with intricacy, the typography of the 19th century is at once functional and fanciful, as displayed in this wonderful sampling of Victorian styles: the exaggerated thicks-and-thins of Express and Barnum typefaces; the unusually detailed serifs of Lafayette characters; the extravagant flourishes of Renaissant, Houghton, and Campanile; the swashes and eye-catching dot motifs of Hogarth and Gutenberg. Typographer and printing historian Dan X. Solo offers this outstanding collection of appealing, highly usable Victorian typefaces that will add a distinctive, old-fashioned flair to design solutions. These attractive letterforms will show their whimsical old-time personality in articles and newsletters, posters and packaging, display ads, signage, and innumerable other graphic projects. And every style is royalty-free. Presented in 24-, 36-, and 48-point fonts, each of the eight exquisite faces includes complete uppercase alphabet, numerals, and punctuations; all but one are designed with lowercase characters, too. Crisp printing on one side only on glossy, repro-quality stock means you can cut and combine characters directly from the book.

How to Do Things with Books in Victorian Britain asks how our culture came to frown on using books for any purpose other than reading. When did the coffee-table book become an object of scorn? Why did law courts forbid witnesses to kiss the Bible? What made Victorian cartoonists mock commuters who hid behind the newspaper, ladies who matched their books' binding to their dress, and servants who reduced newspapers to fish 'n' chips wrap? Shedding new light on novels by Thackeray, Dickens, the Brontës, Trollope, and Collins, as well as the urban sociology of Henry Mayhew, Leah Price also uncovers the lives and afterlives of anonymous religious tracts and household manuals. From knickknacks to wastepaper, books mattered to the Victorians in ways that cannot be explained by their printed content alone. And whether displayed, defaced, exchanged, or discarded, printed matter participated, and still participates, in a range of transactions that stretches far beyond reading. Supplementing close readings with a sensitive reconstruction of how Victorians thought and felt about books, Price offers a new model for integrating literary theory with cultural history. How to Do Things with Books in Victorian Britain reshapes our understanding of the interplay between words and objects in the nineteenth century and beyond.
