Came across a good article on paper at Creative Pro, Paper Tips: Going Against the Grain. Also found Mark Boulton’s Five Simple Steps to Better Typography. His is a beautiful site, very clean and elegant. In the comments to one of the articles on his site (alas, I can’t remember which one at the moment, but it doesn’t really matter), someone mentioned Alan Pipes’ book Production for Graphic Designers. So I checked it out from the library and started reading it, and I’m really liking it. More later (after finals).
Oh, one last thing. I was thinking about buying Jan Tschichold’s The Form of the Book online. Not anymore — it’s $90 used! Rats. I can’t find it cheaper than that anywhere. Oh well. At least I have Robert Bringhurst’s The Elements of Typographic Style to keep me happy. I wonder why Tschichold is so expensive…
