Book Reviews of Thinking with Type: A Critical Guide for Designers, Writers, Editors, & Students (Design Briefs)

Book Review: ehmm....
Summary: 3 Stars

Required book for my typography course, and to be frank I absolutely hated it. When it comes to typography I'm very pick and this book tries to be organized but unfortunately becomes ADHD, hah.

It has lots of great info, but fails to tie it all together. it will show lots of cool stuff, but it all seems oddly extraneous, since it never comes back to the IDEA of typography. It's like those conversations that are really exciting because everyone is hopped up on coffee and no one knows where its going and you get people saying "what where we talking about?" every 5seconds.
