Quite comprehensive and clearly written, exactly what I was looking for after reading Stop Stealing Sheep. It was funnier than I expected, the author writes with a lot of character and clearly has a bone to pick with computers, which was entertaining as a web developer reading this to learn more about typography. It's obviously a beautifully crafted book and I'm glad to have read it as a physically printed book rather than digitally. Feels like Bringhurst would have approved.

Full disclosure, I didn't read all of the appendices (which make up like 1/3 of the book)
