Font, the sourcebook

This is a niggle based on my own aging requirements; while the book's content is excellent and as a historical reference to the development and usage of type it's very, VERY good, the overall size of the book make the type size used difficult for me to read even with glasses. It's not a lay-flat binding, either, so the occasional two-page spread is all but destroyed.

Honestly, I recommend this book to anyone who has a slight interest in Typography. Tells the whole history of typography and has great quality pictures, I loved the insights on different contemporary designers.
