A concise look at typesetting systems and book design
Ruari McLean examines three major methods of setting type—filmsetting, hot metal, and computer-based systems—and considers their relationship to book design. With its attention on the practical technologies behind printed pages, the book situates typography within the changing production processes that shape how books are made and designed. Its compact scope makes it a focused resource on the connection between typesetting methods and the visual form of the book.
