Aaron Swartz praises Robert Bringhurst’s
The Elements of Typographic Style, an excellent book that’s a lot more fun than you might think it could be. Swartz also notes that despite the book’s beauty it’s hard to actually read it because of its binding and shape (I agree). This kind of irony is all too common—despite Tog’s knowledge of computer interfaces, his
Web site was a usability disaster before he got help from
Jakob Nielson.
