Lines: 20 In-reply-to: vkk@duke.cs.duke.edu's message of 10 May 91 16:17:35 GMT I saw in a bookstore a *BEAUTIFUL* book on typography, just recently published. It's by the former (?) director of typography at Adobe Systems, Inc. and it's called (I think, sort of like ...) "Stone on Type" by Sumner Stone. This book is a work of art. There is a newletter in the middle that is fantastically clean and legible. Don Knuth would appreciate this book. I only wish the designers of the new CACM-look had 1/2 the style and grace that Sumner Stone has. If they did, the CACM would be a knockout... -- Vladimir -- ============================================================================== Vladimir G.
