This is a non-fiction Christmas bestseller. Just My Type" is not just a font book but a book of stories. It is: about how Helvetica & Comic Sans took over the world; about why Barack Obama opted for Gotham while Amy Winehouse found her soul in 30s Art Deco; about the great originators of type from Baskerville to Zapf or people like Neville Brody who threw out the rulebook or Margaret Calvert who invented the motorway signs that are used from Watford Gap to Abu Dhabi; about the pivotal moment when fonts left the world of Letraset & were loaded onto computers...and typefaces became something we realised we all have an opinion about. As the " Sunday Times" review put it the book is "a kind of Eats Shoots & Leaves for letters revealing the extent to which fonts are not only shaped by but also define the world in which we live"." ...

From the sublime to the ridiculous Just My Typo is a hilarious collection of typographical errors slips of the pen & embarrassing misprints which like any typo of any kind should never have happened cannot be excused & must not in any way be glorified. Enjoy. Youll travel back in time to meet great figures from history: Sir Francis Drake (who circumcised the world in a small ship) Queen Victoria (who pissed graciously over the Menai Bridge) & Rambo (the famous French poet). Youll find moral instruction (Blessed are the meek for they shall irrigate the earth) & pearls of wisdom (love is just a passing fanny). Youll be outraged by politicians who exploit disasters to boost their pubic profiles; entranced by lambs that gamble in the fields; concerned for a man who was admitted to hospital suffering from severe buns; & appalled to meet 11-year-old twins Helen & Ugh. ...
