German Typography **SOLD**

German Typography Today: An Exhibition of the German Liaison Committee of The Type Directors Club of New York (TPB, 1987, published in West Germany, $10, which is 1/3 the internet price.)

"Typography is the art and technique of arranging type in order to make language visible. The arrangement of type involves the selection of typefaces, point size, line length, leading, adjusting the spaces between groups of letters and adjusting the space between pairs of letters." - Wikipedia

OK, here we go again. I have studied the art here, and I still don't get it. I don't get it at all. Once again I rely on someone out there to explain it to me. Look for it on the new non-fiction table, avail. 2/29.      (art)
