>I want a basic intro to typography.... There is no better introduction than Fernand Baudin's "Typography and Why it matters." It's not a primer on subjects such as "what does Avant Garde look like," or "This is a good font for books." It is a good primer on the things you need to know before the rest should be considered. He's a lovely writer, to boot. [My copy is at work, so I may have munged the title--look up Baudin in "Books in Print" and improvise :-)] ari davidow ari@netcom.com
