Type history book project in need of funding!
Posting here to signal boost this project (a little selfishly, as I really want to get a copy!)
Six Centuries of Type and Printing, by Glenn Fleishman
Only 2 days left to get this project in the works. Back the project here: http://kck.st/4hdvGfW
From his kickstarter:
The book Six Centuries of Type & Printing briskly tells the story of the evolution of type and printing, starting with early documented efforts and surviving artifacts from China and Korea, and introducing Gutenberg and his innovations. It then takes you through each generation of increasing sophistication in metal and relief printing until the abrupt 20th century shift into flat offset printing, which was made possible through photographic and digital improvements, and phototypesetting and digital composition.
I hereby boost the signal boost! Glenn’s last book on the history of printing comic strips was excellent. I enthusiastically supported this new Kickstarter as soon as I heard about it.
