In this book about typographer Robert Brownjohn, the biography and visuals are paramount.  In the first section, a diverse group of Brownjohn's colleagues and friends comment on the artist's life and work.  The second portion of the book is primarily images of the artist's work, with minimal explanatory text.  Four pages are devoted to six striking book covers that prominently feature Brownjohn's designs.  The authors also provide overviews of major artistic movements, from Bauhaus to the architectural movements in 1960s London.  A beautiful and interesting work, this text serves as a compelling framework for considering the role of typography in a variety of artistic settings.
