Robert Bringhurst is a poet, typographer, linguist, critic, designer, translator, teacher, and cultural historian. He has published more than thirty books, eighteen of them books of poetry. His book, The Black Canoe, a study of Bill Reid’s sculpture, is a classic of Native American art history and his book The Elements of Typographic Style is considered the “bible” for typographers the world over. In Canada, Bringhurst is best known for his groundbreaking study of Native Canadian oral literature, A Story As Sharp as a Knife: The Classical Haida Mythtellers and Their World (1999), a work that startled many readers and sparked intense academic and public debate. Two volumes of translation from classical Haida complete the trilogy: Nine Visits to the Mythworld and Being In Being. In 2004, the trilogy earned Bringhurst the Edward Sapir Prize, awarded by the Society for Linguistic Anthropology. Among his more recent books of poetry is Ursa Major (2003), a multilingual work in which characters tell simultaneous stories in English, Latin, Greek, and Cree.
Born in Los Angeles in 1946, Robert Bringhurst was brought to Canada at the age of five, raised largely in Alberta, and has lived and worked in British Columbia since 1973. He currently lives near Heriot Bay on Quadra Island.
4.1.3 Set titles and openings in a form that contributes to the overall design.
Renaissance books, with their long titles and ample margins, generally left no extra space at the heads of chapters. In modern books, where the titles are shorter and the margins have been eaten by inflationary pressure, a third of a page sometimes lies vacant just to celebrate the fact that the chapter begins. But space alone is not enough to achieve the sense of richness and celebration, nor is absence of space necessarily a sign of typographic poverty.
Narrow row houses flush with street are found not only in urban slums but in the loveliest of the old Italian hill towns and Mediterranean villages. A page full of letters presents the same possibilities. It can lapse into a typographic slum, or grow into a ... (查看原文)

專業又全面，不單闡釋字體，也展現字體和文本的美妙關係。而且最妙的是對部分概念的解釋可以直接通過此書的排版和使用的字體得到了解，附錄部分也列出了多個專業性的詞彙表供學習和查閲。

本书虽然久负盛名，但我感觉，讲得太玄虚了（艺术领域似乎很多这样的）。想把排版上升为艺术，也要先打好基础。本书的排版固然不错，堪当示范，但读者如果是初次接触排版，读毕全书，恐怕也很难分析出排版好在哪，难以模仿、拟作。不过，这或许也是因为我这种没有慧根的人，须待别人谆谆而教，覼缕以晓，而不能自己悟出道理。
