Description
A collection of essays from a wide range of perspectives, exploring the multifaceted interaction between graphic design and reading. The writers offer explanations of traditions of typography as reading aids, as well as radical interventions that are attacks on - or improvements on - established reading patterns. Browsing magazines in the doctor's waiting room, experiencing an e-book online, contemplating the German one-word poster; these arenas, and many more, offer springboards for investigating this complex relationship.
