Just My Type

Just My Type: A Book About Fonts is being compared to Lynne Truss's 2004 Eats, Shoots & Leaves, a quirky little book about punctuation that went on to become a best seller. It's easy to see the same happening with this newest offering from Simon Garfield, a British author of 12 books of non-fiction.

Who knew the world was full of people who not only know about these type faces, but actually care about them?

Garfield takes readers on a rollicking tour of the world of typography, from book jackets to road signs, TV shows to computers. There are 100,000 font designs in all. Again, who knew?
