Kelly, Jerry GOTTHARD DE BEAUCLAIR: ART AND LITERATURE THROUGH TYPOGRAPHY AND DESIGN
With an Introduction by Hermann Zapf New York The Typophiles 2006 6 x 9 inches paperback 48 pages
Born in 1907, Gotthard de Beauclair spent most of his life learning about calligraphy, printing, typography, and book design. With his expertise and skillful technique, he produced some of the finest examples of limited edition books. Even now, his work stands as a model for superior bookmaking.

This catalogue includes an Introduction by Hermann Zapf and a brief history of de Beauclair's work as a student, typographer, designer, and bookmaker. It lists his endeavors at the Insel Verlag, the Stempel Typefoundry, various publishers, the Trajanus Presse, and others. A section of illustrations is also included. The book was set in Aldus, a typeface designed by Hermann Zapf (Gotthard de Beauclair was also instrumental in the font's conception).

While the leading book designer in Gernmany, Beauclair is not as well known in the United States. Many presses in Germany and around the world have given up the tradition of printing from metal type by letterpress. Run now as industrial companies, publishing companies are often merged focusing on mass production over quality. This book brings to light the typographic work used in Beauclair's exceptional publications in hopes of demonstrating that fine editions can still be produced today in exquisite detail, even despite the ever-growing technologies.

Kelly, Jerry SPEND YOUR ALPHABETS LAVISHLY! THE WORK OF HERMANN & GUDRUN ZAPF
With an Introduction by David Pankow New York The Typophiles in association with RIT Cary Graphic Arts Press 2007 6 x 9 inches paperback 48 pages
This catalogue of an exhibition at the Melbert B. Cary, Jr. Graphic Arts Collection Rochester Institute of Technology presents a survey of work by Hermann and Gudrun Zapf. Honoring their fifty-year long relationship with RIT, the exhibition featured examples of calligraphy, type design, book design, and bookbinding drawn completely from the Zapf archives of RIT. The book provides a brief history of the Zapf's relationship with RIT, information regarding their calligraphy and contributions, and an 18 page section devoted to illustrations .

Beginning in 1957 when Hermann Zapf visited the original downtown Rochester campus of RIT, the school's relationship with the Zapf's continued to grow over the years. Hermann Zapf was the first recipient of the Goudy Award, and in 1977 he was appointed as Cary Professor where he had a dramatic impact on the Institute's printing and design program. He extensively used the Cary Graphic Arts Collection, a rare book library devoted to the history of the book and printing acquired by RIT in 1969, and taught his students the importance of original manuscripts, early books, and the early types of Jenson, Aldus, and others.

In 1991, with her considerable achievements in bookbinding, calligraphy, and type design, Gudrun Zaptf von Hesse also won the Goudy Award. Her receipt of this award was significant because it was planned in conjunction with the dedication of a larger library facility. Ever since their beginning involvements, the Zapf's have remained prominent in helping acquire collections.

Kelly, Jerry TYPE REVIVALS: WHAT ARE THEY? WHERE DID THEY COME FROM? WHERE ARE THEY GOING?
New York The Typophiles 2011 6 x 9 inches paperback pamphlet 16 pages
Typophiles Monograph: New Series No. 27

Type Revivals gives the history of type revivals and explores their place in modern type design. By examining some of the earliest type revivals, the definition of a true type revival emerges: it is an adaptation of an old typeface for current production and use, not merely a rote reproduction. With this definition in mind, the book shows that even while brand new fonts were being developed, typographers were in the habit of looking back to old designs for inspiration, especially between 1915 and 1990, the "golden age of type revivals." Even during this golden age, the book explains, many typographers experienced difficulty reviving old typefaces. Some problems they faced were incorrectly attributed fonts, poor specimen sheets, and varied character sizes. In spite of these problems, type revivals continue to occur, and, as the book argues, will keep happening as long as new fonts are made.

In the margins, there are some revived types presented with the original types they were based on.

(Zapf, Hermann) Kelly, Jerry ABOUT MORE ALPHABETS: THE TYPES OF HERMANN ZAPF
Foreword by Robert Bringhurst New York The Typophiles 2011 4.5 x 7 inches hardcover 112 pages
Typophiles Chapbook, New Series, 3. "Letterforms are things that nearly all of us in the Western world have learned to take for granted. We treat them much like door knobs, water taps, thermostats, and hinges. We evidently think (in defiance of all logic) that what we read or write matters far more than how it's read or written, and that letterforms are just a way to get there, as a door knob is a way to open a door," writes Robert Bringhurst in the Foreword to About More Alphabets. This book hopes to bring attention to a neglected topic by focusing on the letterforms of Hermann Zapf.

From metal type to the digital characters, Hermann Zapf has composed exceptional type designs for seventy years. He can be considered one of the most important calligraphers of all time, as well as a most notable book designer and typographer. His typefaces are among the most beautiful and familiar in the world. This book, a companion volume to the Typophile Chapbook About Alphabets (1960, updated 1970), describes Zapfs post-1970 type designs and provides new research on many of the earlier types.

In this volume, typographer and calligrapher Jerry Kelly describes the origins and history of numerous Hermann Zapf typefaces including Marconi, ITC Zapf International, Linotype Zapfino, and Zapf Civilité. Kelly also includes new information on the Palatino nova and Optima nova families. This new Typophiles Chapbook is profusely illustrated with type specimens and drawings, many of which have never before been reproduced. Illustrations include drawings by Zapf, comparisons of various types, early sketches, typefaces never issued, and a twenty-eight page image section of type specimens. Other types described include Hallmark Textura, AMS Euler fraktur bold, Zapf Renaissance italic swash, Medici script, Aurelia, AMS Euler, Zapf Renaissance, ITC Zapf Chancery, and Zapf Civilité.

Robert Bringhurst calls Zapf one of historys greatest two-dimensional architects. He says, "Hermann Zapf has made letters so subtle, so lovely they bring tears to knowledgeable eyes. And there are very few people who know Zapfs work as well as Jerry Kelly. Read him and weep."
