Title: Spotty book on type--both brilliant and confusing
Review: Pearman and Albritton are both type experts who offer many personal anecdotes in the use of type. However, their explanations of type concepts at times are very confusing and convoluted. This book can be very difficult to read as a result. It tries to cover too much without giving a solid basis; it is more of an advanced text. The style of writing gets ponderous at points, while at other times is very clear. More consistency would be helpful. The title is very clever and the best part about it.
