From the publisher: "The autobiography of a book and magazine designer who played a central role in British graphic design from the 1940s to the 1980s, who edited and designed MOTIF (1958-1967) and who wrote the THAMES AND HUDSON MANUAL OF TYPOGRAPHY This well-written autobiography of the renowned book designer, author and typographer captures a fascinating life and a remarkable era in British publishing. McLean's compelling story begins with his birth in the Scottish lowlands, and describes his school days at Oxford, the war years as a British officer on a French submarine, and his introduction into the London publishing scene.
