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.

Digital Type and Colour emphasizes the importance of mastering two fundamental principles of traditional typography -- type and colour -- in order to work effectively on screen. The book opens with an examination of the basics of type and colour (with a large section of samples for quick reference). It then explores a more experimental approach to the use of colour and type, with the author detailing traditional typographic rules and investigating ways of breaking those rules to achieve new and innovative design. A wide variety of academic and professional case studies reveal the methods and rationale behind the work profiled. A useful reference book for all graphic designers, Digital Type and Colour provides a fresh set of possibilities for screen work.

Typologia presents more or less graphically Frederic Goudy's work in type design and describes his own methods of type production. His remarks on type legibility and fine printing, as presented in the body of the book, present the conclusions of a craftsman intensely interested in every phase of typography. The book itself, which Goudy was asked by the University of California Press to write, plan, and supervise, has been set in a type designed by Goudy and and first employed for the exclusive use of the University–University of California Old Style.
