I saw in a bookstore a *BEAUTIFUL* book on typography, just recently
published. It's by the former (?) director of typography at Adobe Systems,
Inc. and it's called (I think, sort of like ...) "Stone on Type" by Sumner
Stone.
This book is a work of art. There is a newletter in the middle that is
fantastically clean and legible. Don Knuth would appreciate this book.
I only wish the designers of the new CACM-look had 1/2 the style and grace
that Sumner Stone has. If they did, the CACM would be a knockout...
