True to Type: An Autobiography of Ruari McLean
The Scottishborn McLean tells all about building his career as a designer, typographer, and author in Londons postwar publishing scene. McLean played a central role in British graphic design from the 1940s to the 1980s, designing and editing Motif and penning the wellknown Thames and Hudson Manual of Typography . His life story, from hot type to cold, is sprinkled with photos and illustrations; in a postscript, he gracefully considers the question Is typography necessary? (The answer: Of course but first the words have to be right.) Includes a checklist of books written, compiled, or translated by McLean. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
