(Preface) 'For thirty years (since 1971) the pages of TypoGraphic, the journal of the ISTD, have recorded what it has meant to be a typographer in the midst of turbulent change. Change affecting not only all aspects of working practice, but also social and moral issues, aesthetics, language, semiotics and globalisation to name but a few.
The period begins as letterpress was giving way to photo-typesetting (and Letraset!) and continues through to the rise of computers and digital type, electronic publishing and the internet. All of these and the myriad of issues surrounding their use and applications are represented in this anthology.'
