Review: Great - Great book Review: Fantastic Introduction - As a newbie to graphics/typography (at least in the sense of having to deal with it in any kind of a professional context), I've found this to be an excellent primer to getting your head in the right place to think about typography and basic layout. It's well written and a lot of the examples are beautifully illustrated, so it serves a double-shift as a prompt if you're stuck for an idea with something you're working on. Essential. ## Features - New - Mint Condition - Dispatch same day for order received before 12 noon - Guaranteed packaging - No quibbles returns ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 213,464 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 81 in Typography in Graphic Arts | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,496 Reviews | ## Images ![Thinking With Type 2nd Ed: A Critical Guide for Designers, Writers, Editors, & Students - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ZO6EyOZ3L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great *by A***R on 9 August 2025* Great book ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Introduction *by T***Y on 8 December 2012* As a newbie to graphics/typography (at least in the sense of having to deal with it in any kind of a professional context), I've found this to be an excellent primer to getting your head in the right place to think about typography and basic layout.
