Robert Bringhurst authored two editions of a
book entitled '''''The Elements of Typographic Style'''''. Originally published in 1992, it was revised in 1996. The book, which is an overview of
typography, has been praised by
Hermann Zapf: he reportedly said (as cited in "
Amazon.com" listed in the "References" section) he "wishes to see this book become the Typographers Bible".
