past fonts leading up to today’s modern digital fonts. It was really
interesting and I enjoyed reading it.

> I chose this book because it also informed
me about Gutenberg and the impact of printing in history. It showed me how
printing has evolved and influenced the way we use print now. I never really
put too much thought into it, because I would always just go to Kinko’s. I’m
glad I had this as my topic.

London: Peter Nevill, 1960. Print.
> I chose this book because it had a lot of information
about type and design. It was great to see how things have evolved and shape
the way we view typography. It wasn’t as fun as Ellen Lupton’s book, but it was
very informative.

and the influence of advertising. It related to typography, because ads would
not be ads without type or images. I enjoyed reading this book in general.
Lehmann-Haupt, Hellmut. Peter Schoeffer of
Gernsheim of Mainz. Rochester: Printing House of Leo Hart, 1950. Print.

focused on him, but I did take a look at Mainz. One of my topics was Mainz
Psalter, so it did have some information on that.

of Venetian Publishing in Renaissance Europe. Oxford: B. Blackwell, 1991.

learn about his influence in Europe. I’m amazed sometimes how a person can be
so influential in many different ways. This book was useful for Catalina as
well.

Blackletter font, etc. I enjoyed reading about him overall, he was a very
important man in type and print history.
