		I've followed the author's advice (most of it, anyway) ever since and I was pleased to find that a revised edition had been issued.
		Spiekermann is a type designer as well as a philosopher of art and design, and he's an excellent teacher as well.
		He nicely combines witty discursions on the place of type in Western culture and why it's indirectly important to pay some attention to it, with eminently practical commentary on why certain fonts work best in certain applications, based on what their designers had in mind.
