Volume B VG+/VG; shelfworn, dj age-darkened, edgeworn.
1965, 335 pp. Volume B is dedicated to Printing types; translated by Fred Wilder. All classifications of typefaces, and large-face alphabets to demonstrate such, in a number of colors; many are printed over grids to help demonstrate their dimensions. Also a section called "On the Legibility of Printed Text" by Bror Zachrisson, which is followed by examples of running text in "an ordinary book font" to expose the "overall impression" of each alphabet to a reader, in standard, italic and bold faces.
