I am used not ot read in beetween the lines. But.
I take this 'thread' I started to apologize with
the people on this forum (I love this forum) ;
since a few weeks ago happened to me something
I considered un-fair, I have probably posted some
bad thoughts, or I have been typo-graphically un-
ethic. I am sorry.
Back to my ?/curiosity/concern -- If anybody here
is not working for Chronicle, I would appreciate
a comment on the typefaces they use, the form of
their books, for the lines 'Art + Design,'
'Children's Books' & 'Literature' (if you have,
if you can, of course). Maybe you could post a
little scan of some interesting/odd/special
parts/details -- tha would be great, and I'm sure
other people here could add their point of view.
I don't feel like to write to Chronicle asking
this, I prefer to ask this here. Hope that my
'thread' is not too weird.
Peter Sellers starring 'Hoffman' (1970) :
"Hope never dies in a man with a good dirty mind."
Quote from 'Hoffman' - www.petersellers.com.
I know that, and I am looking forward to check
one (or more) book myself with my hands ; meanwhile
I appreciate any virtual help &/or critical opinion
from this board.
Sincerely,
Alessandro
Hello Mr. Benjamin Shaykin !
Right today I put my eyes on 'Black & White' by Steven Guarnaccia
and Susan Hochbaum -- wonderful book ! (http://tinyurl.com/5ybvu)
Well, recently I have been bitten by sort of 'copyleft' virus,
and, well, no wonder you were confused because of my question.
It seems to me that this house is quite brave & visually smart.
I'd love to work for such minds, so I envy you a little bit.
I was wondering who, in general, or specifically, is in charge
of choosing & using typefaces in the books about Art & Design
and Children's. Does this always come from the authorship, or
is rather a consult between Chronicle and the book designers ?
Thank you very much,
Alessandro
