Bartram, Alan TYPEFORMS: A HISTORY.
New Castle, Delaware and London Oak Knoll Press and The British Library 2007 9.5 x 10 inches cloth, dust jacket 128 pages
First edition. This book is the long-awaited successor to the classic An Atlas of Typeforms, the great visually-led history of type that Alan Bartram and James Sutton produced in 1968. Much has changed in the last 40 years, not least the teaching of typography and the means by which it is created. Because current design methods do not require the drawing and tracing of letterforms in order to produce layouts, we have lost our close connection with them. Few understand their history, their appearance, and how and why they have developed as they have. Nearly 75 different types are shown in their original metal forms, just as they were in the Atlas of Typeforms. But an entirely new feature is the author's attempt to place the types in their historical context. By including photographs of contemporary inscriptions on buildings and monuments, Alan Bartram explores the relationship between printed and architectural letterforms and their parallel course from the Renaissance until Victorian times. The opportunities offered for graphic and type designers in the digital age are greater than ever before. But without an understanding of the visual make-up of letterforms and some knowledge of their fascinating history, designers cannot fully exploit the potential of type. In this book, Alan Bartram educates us in these critical areas. Co-published with The British Library.

(Bird & Bull Press) de Nova Villa, Henricus SO LONG, HOT-METAL MEN
The Comprehensive Bird & Bull Type Specimen Book Newtown, PA Bird & Bull Press 2007 small folio quarter morocco, slipcase (x), 117, (3) pages
Limited to an edition of 140 numbered copies. This book represents a full year of daily work creating a type specimen book that not only shows type faces ranging from the very rare to the common but also contains wonderful Henry Morris quotes composed in type. While there are serious entries, many, if not most, exhibit Morris's finely-tuned humor. How often does one get immense reading pleasure, to say nothing of a good laugh, from an exquisitely executed type specimen book? The alphabets shown range from the gargantuan 84-pt. to a miniscule 4-pt. There is ornamental material from the last days of the great German type founders, which is rarely seen in American private presses, much of which was designed by Hermann Zapf and others of equal ability. "I've seen many of the type specimen books of the twentieth century and I believe I have come up with a novel way of doing this. I predict the idea will be copied, but this is the original and no serious collection should be without it." (from the prospectus). Set in numerous types printed on Frankfurt paper.
