Musings about some of my favorite fantasy literature for young readers, comics old and new, the peculiar publishing industry, the future of books, kids today, and the writing process.
I've been working all day on a document in Baskerville Old Face font, so I figured I'd share this rediscovered specimen of John Baskerville type from the Typefoundry blog. Many of the postings on this blog are far too technical for me, even as a great admirer of fonts and letterforms. But it's good to know it's out there.
