Newspapers & Magazines
A good style guide knows its role as a working document - and that's why the Typographic Style Handbook has become a new favourite of mine . . . It is remarkably readable and accessible
and I would guess its appeal is much
broader than its intended design-led
audience. -- Mark Sinclair * Creative Review * In his time as a typographer, Mitchell co-wrote several typographic bibles alongside Wightman that went on to
inform many graphic designers and publishers about best practice in laying out pages
and type. * Design Week * Michael Mitchell was one of the leading typographers of his day . . . The books are already recognised as classics and are indispensable. They combine his wisdom with his learning, his tact with his taste and subtly guide their
reader towards perfection. -- Jeremy Adler * Guardian * Perfect both for a nerdy five-minute dip and as a comprehensive manual for anyone who cares about the way text looks - on paper or online. -- Claire Lowdon * Times Literary Supplement *
