Very Informative Book, Outdated Online Resources There's a lot of great information in this book. Unfortunately, pretty much every single time I tried to visit one of the URLs referenced throughout the book, I found that the page in question was no longer available. The author should really consider updating these (and maybe using URL shorteners in the process to make the URLs more readable). Still, great book.I deeply recommend it. Starting with anyone in a beginning typography ... Typographic structure. One of the most insightful courses that helped clarify my thoughts as a graphic designer was a writing course. It started with an understanding of how our brains need to structure information in order to understand it. To create typographic structure that really serves people it is necessary to understand these deep structures. How all new information links to new whether that is in a sentence, a paragraph, or an article. How the beginning and ending of a piece is a natural point of emphasis, etc. This book deals with how we read, how we think, how we absorb information. All in one place. I deeply recommend it. Starting with anyone in a beginning typography class to seasoned professionals.Share It with Those You Love This is a must read book for designers of any kind. Some of the "studies" and research backing the claims are questionable though. I mean, really, you could say that everyone draws a coffee cup from a canonical point of view based on many theories and studies... or you might just say that's usually the way everyone experiences a coffee cup, thus we depict it that way in drawing. But, all in all, this book presents some great reminders of principles that we know to be true but don't consciously evaluate day to day. If nothing else, you can use it as ammunition to back-up you design choices.
