easy read

this book is super informative and an easy read...what more could you
want. It also looks great and has wonderfull images and examples.
It gives some history of typefaces which is nice but not an overwhelming amount. I am halfway through the book and absolutely love it so far!

This book is excellent.

I am a design student, and bought "Thinking with Type" prior to the first of two classes about type, in the hope that I would get excited about what seemed to me to be a very dull subject. I made a great decision. "Thinking with Type" got me into type. This is a very well written book. I read and enjoyed it from cover to cover in one day, and refer to it regularly.

If you want to get a handle on type, buy this book, it's a great read, and you'll learn lots about type.

Great Book

I haven't even finished the book, I still have one more section, but I really liked this book. It is definitely a great typography book. I have learned a lot about typography. I didnt know much before this book.

Introduction to type

To quote Ellen Lupton: "There is no playbook that assigns fixed meaning or function every typeface; each designer must confront the library of possibilities in light of a project's unique circumstance." Unfortunately, this seem to be true, and this book is no such playbook. The author provides a brief history of the trade, and a nice overview of some of the basics of type, but I was left wanting for more. The book is nicely illustrated, and still remains among one of the better ones on the subject, but there is room for improvement.
