Review
'Harkins offers exercises to sharpen the reader's awareness of typographic issues. Many creative disciplines involve typography; web developers, graphic designers, game developers, and filmmakers all must use it in their work. A solid understanding of it can even improve a mundane business letter or blog post. Harkins's guide has wide appeal, but it will be especially helpful to beginner and intermediate design students.' -- Library Journal, December 2011
