2008-01-11 A mixed bag

This book looked good when I flicked through it on the shelf and covers a number of useful concepts which I appreciated as a newcomer to typography. Reading it cover to cover, however, revealed a number of inaccurate assertions (including the page on Asian languages and also the golden section) which made me worry whether there were other areas which weren't entirely correct. The language is also a little trudging which is acceptable for use as a reference book but makes it dull to read in large chunks at a time.
