Thinking in type : the practical philosophy of… di Alex White

This book was my very first introduction to typography as a child and I was blown away. Every single page is packed with clear visual examples of the concept discussed in the text. I have used the information I gained from this book hundreds of times.

The Elements of Graphic Design: Space, Unity, Page… di Alexander W. White

Some good info, but its buried in pages of disorganized filler. Readability is sacrificed for visual flare on each page which makes for a hard read. (Ironically, this is what White instructs designers not to do). He introduces terms without defining them until chapters later. He can't seem to decide whether he is writing a guide for beginners or his grand treatise as a designer with years of experience. Generally his tone is pedagogical and snobby.

The Elements of Graphic Design: Space, Unity, Page… di Alexander W. White

Curiously difficult to read for a book on good graphic design, as it feels very cramped. But the illustrations make it worthwhile.

The Elements of Graphic Design: Space, Unity, Page… di Alex W. White

Okay. Book on graphic design. You expect it to be well-designed.

I'm not sure if this one was or not: maybe that was the purpose. It was incredibly informative (especially on typesetting, for some reason), but the layouts and graphics seemed to break a lot of the rules that he was trying to get across. You'd look at a page and have no idea where to start reading, there were so many text boxes on it. And yet it wasn't hard to read, or boring, or confusing--you just had to dance around a lot.
