This book is a masterpiece.
If you love design, type (or any kind of craft, really) it is a must read.
I like to think of it as the perfect example of what Pirsig talks about in "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance", and that which programmers call "the Quality without a name".
A truly inspiring book, even if you don't like typography.
