One of the most
popular Macintosh books ever written, The Mac is not a typewriter has
been called the "Strunk and White of typography." Best-selling author
Robin Williams's simple, logical principles for using type to produce
beautiful, professional documents are as true now as they were when the original
edition was published in 1989. This updated edition includes new examples and
expanded information dedicated to the practical advice that made the first edition
an enduring bestseller. Throughout, Robin shows you the small details that separate
the pros from the amateurs: typographer versus typewriter quotation marks, en
and em dashes, tabs and indents, kerning, leading, white space, widows and orphans,
and hanging punctuation. If you prepare documents, you'll find The Mac is
not a typewriter, Second Edition an indispensable guide. And those who read
your documents will recognize the work of a pro, even if they don't know a curly
quote from curly fries.
