This is THE book for printing history. Why had I never heard of it before? Why? why?

It's excellently concise, well exampled and very readable. THE book.

A short meditation on the typography and perseverance of the Roman alphabet by designer Warren Chappell. Beautifully designed, as one would expect from Chappell, and with a strong cautionary note at the end.

This slim book is a solid history of Roman alphabet letterforms. However, the author does become a bit melodramatic when describing the evils of machine typography in the last chapter.
