Bringhurst, Robert. The Elements of Typographic Style Version 3.0. Canada, Hartley and Marks Publishers, 2004. ISBN-0-88179-205-5

Long the preserve of trained specialists alone, typography is a territory opened now to everyone equipped with a computer. For millions of people around the globe, the ability to produce effective printed documents has lately become, an essential professional skill and an important source of personal satisfaction.

The Elements of Typographic Style is far nire than a style guide. It is also a brief history of typoghraphic art, a wonderfully compact encyclopedia of typographic symbols, concepts, and traditions, and a highly entertaining, richly informative tour of the technologies employed, both old and new. In all, it is a thoughtful and insightful, fresh and yet authoritative desktop reference for everyone who works with written words.

To writers, this book offers a whole new set of skills and tools for effective expression and communication. To readers, it offers a new dimension of reading: a deeper appreciation of letters and a deeper understanding of what they mean. For students, and practitioners of the graphic arts, it has become, as Hermann Zapf initially proposed, "the Typographers' Bible".
