## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Holy Kerning, Batman!
*by B***S on 22 February 2023*

I'll keep it brief: this is one of the most beautiful *and* interesting books I've ever bought.I'm relatively new to typography, but this book would make a wonderful gift for anyone interested in the history of books as physical objects. The illustrations are lavish, full-size, and beautifully reproduced in colour. The text is neat, highly informative, and expertly researched; and the history contained within these pages, coupled with the experience of reading from them, is quite simply magical.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great!
*by G***1 on 23 January 2023*

Really happy with this - arrived in perfection condition

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing resource
*by T***A on 18 November 2021*
