Rudolf Koch: Letterer, Type Designer, Teacher

This is a book we are constantly turning to because Rudolf Koch was one of the foremost typographers, type designers, and letterers in Germany during the early 20th century—and we are constantly hunting for and offering his work. His contributions to those aforementioned crafts are still being studied around the world and this important biographical study of Koch and his work is the first authoritative reference to appear in English. We keep our copy of this book next to our Chicago Manual of Style. That’s how useful this book is. In fact, earlier today we’d impulsively bought—sight-unseen—something Koch-related and were feeling uncomfortable about it, like it might not have actually been Koch’s work. But, then as we were photographing this book we came across a reference to what we’d previously thought was suspicious. See? This is a useful book.
