Typefaces & ChildBook

I know enough to know how little I know in the area of type faces. I know, heavy users of Childbook who are into type faces are saying that's an understatement :-)

Fun article to read Design: Mistakes in Typography Grate the Purists from the NY Times.

A favorite book of mine is the Mac is not a typewriter, I believe I have the first edition. Second edition is 2003. It covers the basics such as DON'T USE ALL CAPS SINCE THEY ARE HARD TO READ, Don't use double spaces after a period. And don't use courier.

One of my first jobs after college was doing Desktop Publishing for Manuals.
