This book has been developed from my typography: basic particles which was first published in 1963. The first part of the book deals with the influences that have shaped design of the printed page since the nineteenth century. This stands basically as it was before but the various influences have been dealth with in greater depth. As for the rest of the book, which is about the practicalities of the typographers’ craft, so much has changed in the techniques of printing and typesetting over the dozen years, that this has needed not only enlargement, but completely re-writing. The main changes are the substitution offset for the letterpress printing and filmsetting for hot metal setting. In many ways, from the designer’s point of view, these changes are for the worse! The apparent flexibility of offset printing, particularly for books where type and half tone illustrations are integrated, and the use of film setting has resulted in a strait jacket imposed by the high cost of correction.
