365 daily design mantras from four leading industry experts,
providing you with valuable design dos and don'ts for every day of
year. Packed with practical advice presented in a fun, lighthearted
fashion, this is the perfect book for the ever-growing group of
non-designers who want some graphic design guidance. And for more
experienced designers, individual entries will either bring forth
knowing nods of agreement or hoots of derision, depending on
whether or not the reader loves or hates hyphenation, has a
pathological fear of beige, or thinks that baseline grids are
boring. In the style of a classical almanac, 365 entries combine a
specific rule with a commentary from a variety of experienced
designers from all fields of the graphic design industry. Covering
topics such as typography, colour, layout, imagery, production, and
creative thinking, you can either dip in at random or use the book
as the source of a daily lesson in how to produce great graphic
design.
The ultimate visual encyclopaedia of type, featuring more than 1,800 typefaces
Wherever we go and whatever we do, the printed word plays a part in every aspect of our day-to-day lives. Behind all the messages we see, read, and absorb, the design and choice of typeface dictate the tone, context and immediacy of these words. From advertising and news headlines to book jackets or wayfinding at an airport, choosing the most appropriate typeface is not an easy task, nor one based on aesthetic alone.
With such a diverse and inspiring range of types now on offer, Type Directory separates and identifies these forms to provide a comprehensive selection of available typefaces. Over 1,800 typefaces are organized by category – Serif, Sans Serif, Display and Script – and subsequently arranged by recognized sub-categories. This allows the reader to make a direct comparison of typefaces with a similar appearance, thus facilitating a deeper understanding of the design and selection process. A visual celebration of the craft, innovation and beauty of these letterforms is presented throughout, from classic typefaces like Garamond, Bodoni and Times through to the contemporary Bliss, Gotham and Meta.
The ultimate visual encyclopedia, Type Directory is an essential creative tool for novices and aficionados alike. This sumptuous sourcebook will inform, educate, inspire and stimulate as a must-have reference title.
The Field Guide to Typography explores and explains the myriad
typefaces that we see around us in our day-to-day lives, from
airplane liveries to computer screens, from billboard hoardings to
signage systems. It presents over 120 typefaces - old and new,
common and unusual - with photographic references to help `font
spotters' identify particular typefaces in the wild. Accompanying
background information explains the origin, usage and key features
of each typeface, and `Field Facts' provide little-known nuggets of
information to expand your typographical awareness. Attractive and
informative, The Field Guide to Typography is a unique visual
reference for novice font fans and experienced designers alike, and
a comprehensive celebration of our expanding typographic world.
The only hope of finding a US marshal who suspiciously vanished in
the desert is rotting in a New Mexico jail! Because of reports of a
potential range war in Penasco County, New Mexico, US Commissioner
Guilford dispatches Deputy US Marshal Ed Church to help clean up
the mess. But after arriving in Agua Verde by stagecoach and
renting a horse to ride to the troubled area, Church disappears. At
the same time, two top men from rival ranching operations are found
killed outside town the day after Church arrived in Agua Verde,
apparently the deadly result of a shoot-out. Guilford knows that Ed
Church's best friend, Streak Mathiot, is currently sitting in the
Pleasant City jail. Guilford visits and offers him the job of
deputy US marshal to investigate Church's disappearance. If Streak
will accept it, the commissioner's assignment will take precedence
over any local charges against him, and the prisoner would be
released into Guilford's custody. Streak accepts Guilford's offer
to find his friend before it's too late. But little does he know
he'll be dropped right in the middle of a fight that has already
turned violent . . . and possibly deadly. Gunsmoke Masquerade finds
Peter Dawson in top form, justifying his reputation as one of the
most respected Western writers of all time. Skyhorse Publishing is

After five years of virtual banishment because he sold out his
small outfit to the Middle Arizona Cattle Company, giving it a
foothold on the Mesa Grande range, violent-tempered Joe Bonnyman is
summoned back to Lodgepole by his father when it appears that a
cattle war between the syndicate and the various rangers is
imminent.
During his short stay in town, Joe has an unpleasant meeting with
Ed Merrill, the brother of a girl Joe had once courted. Warned by
Merrill to stay away from his sister, Joe whips the man in a fist
fight. Later that same night Ed Merrill decides to ride out of
Lodgepole to his ranch, rather than face humiliation the next day
over the fight. On his way to the stable to get his horse, he sees
a light in the Acme Land Company's office and realizes that someone
is opening the safe. While he is deliberating what to do, the
hold-up man comes out, sees him, and brings down his gun on Ed's
head with a vicious blow. From a piece of evidence found at the
scene of the crime, it appears that Joe Bonnyman did it.
"Troublesome Range" is a classic story of good and evil, of a man
forced to do whatever it takes to defend his honor and his
town.
