ABC-XYZapf

There are lots of books in which Hermann Zapf wrote about what he thought. In this one, forty calligraphers and designers from around the world wrote what they thought about Hermann Zapf. Presumably they only write nice things. Like, we’re pretty sure nobody wrote, Man. He sure could write letters but it was best to steer clear of close conversations after his morning coffee. That sorta stuff is generally left out of a tribute. But this is still an insightful book as it is loaded with anecdotes and remembrances about the impact of Zapf’s work and his teachings. Essential reading, loaded with illustrations.
