Giambattista Bodoni. The Complete Manual of Typography by Stephan Füssel
This complete reprint of Giambattista Bodonis Manuale tipografico revives one of historys greatest typographical achievements. With 142 sets of roman and italic typefaces, it offers an unrivalled overview of the uniform design, neatness, good taste, and charm, that set the standard for type thereafter, as well as the origins of the still much-used Bodoni typeface.
