Fellow DTPs:

A recent message regarding two books on printing "theory" caught my eye.

I too am interested in good books about printing.  My goal is to set up a
small reference shelf of about 10 titles covering such things as
page layout, font selection, font design, layout of tables, effective
illustrations,, and so forth.  Basically any aesthetic considerations
involved in printing and typesetting.  I am not interested in
package-specific books (e.g. "How to Use Pagemaker") or grammar books.

If anyone out there has a favorite book, I'd like to hear about it.

Also, I have not been able to find the two books mentioned last week
("Publications Design" and "On Advertizing"). Could whoever posted
that message--I've since filed it into oblivion--please send
me the publishers and copyright dates?  Also, are these books still in
print?

There was also a hint that such a list of books may have been
compiled at one time, as the wording used was to the effect of,
"here are two books to ADD to the list."  If there is a wide-ranging list
already being maintained, I'd like to know about it.

Reviews and opinions are welcome, but go beyond the call of duty.  All I'm
asking for are titles and authors (and publishers if you have that too.)
Thank you very much.
