Was jedermann vom Buchdruck wissen sollte (Jan Tschichold)
Here’s a modest undertaking by Jan Tschichold: it’s just what everyone should know about book printing. In these seventy-two beautiful pages he covers a host of topics relevant to making a book: Type size, rules, the grain of paper, different typefaces, editorial marks, dimensions, illustrations processes, and so on. And that’s just what we can determine from looking. We can’t read a word of this because it’s in German. But you know who could? Inge Druckrey. This was her copy.
