Summary:
This book was originally inspired by the author’s Italian mother and her struggles with the vagaries of the English language. Over the years the author has tried to correct her attempts and explain why the word she has chosen is incorrect, only to be baffled herself by the lack of logic within those explanations. English is full of contradictions and peculiarities (not counting such dull grammatical inconsistencies as ‘i before e except after c’, which are really no fun at all) and hoodwinks us into believing one thing while meaning something quite different. In English, all is not what it seems and with this book the author has brought these illogical oddities to the fore. Questions of spelling, pronunciation or the blatantly nonsensical are illustrated through clever visual representations that are created entirely through artfully manipulated typography. This playful and sometimes hilarious text sorts the homonyms from the heteronyms and introduces the ‘antigram’ (demonstrating how the swift shuffle of certain letters can create words that entirely contradict the first: honestly becomes on the sly, earliest becomes rise late and, fabulously, Elvis = lives!). Monachino goes on to demand an explanation from all those tricky little words that are spelt the same and pronounced the same, but yet have utterly different meanings, while highlighting a few of life`s petty pleonasms and showing off some quite excellent tautologies. A gaggle of one-word oxymorons shines the spotlight on words that harbour contradictory words within them and the final section provides a note on inadvisable hyphenation, which is a useful disco-very, but perhaps not the best place to beg-in.

Summary:
Another self-indulgent design monograph is Stefan Sagmeister's hand-scrawled subtitle for the first book about his work, Made You Look. This, and the book's clear red case and silver-gilded pages, seem contrary to the raw, handwritten style he is known for, already setting us up for a wild and very personal ride through almost the entire corpus of the 39-year-old(...)

Sagmeister once scratched words into his skin for his own lecture poster at Cranbrook, and this is the book version--sometimes enlightening, sometimes embarrassing, and ultimately touching. The story is a conversation between Peter Hall's text and Sagmeister's handwritten commentary, a perfect and believable device for an absorbing dialogue.

A pioneer in the field, Ezer is one of the most influential designers today, who is reinventing the art of typography.Based in Tel Aviv, Ezer has an almost scientific approach to type design in which he explores the anatomy of letters and alphabets. His Hebrew and Latin characters and alphabets are influenced by calligraphy and integrate elements that are not typical for font design, such as ornamental and organic shapes that resemble creatures. The book introduces his type art and hybrid typo creatures, including projects from his Biotypography series.

Schmid put his own spin on Emil Ruder's teachings while remaining faithful to his principles of clarity, simplicity and elegance. Living in Osaka, Vancouver and Germany (where he worked for the German Social Democratic Party and the German chancellors Willy Brandt and Helmut Schmidt), Schmid merged Eastern and Western influences in his editorial design, product packaging, political and corporate visual identity. This bilingual monograph explores the typographer's oeuvre in its entirety. The book's generous design allows each image to breathe; accompanying texts narrate Schmid's life and career in an informative but pleasant manner.

Des logos, des affiches, des caractères typographiques, du mobilier, des scénographies d’exposition, des montres, des dispositifs de projection vidéo, oui. Mais des cartes ? Aucune encore. Il dut, pour relever ce défi, inventer quelques outils au passage. Sa capacité à décloisonner a fait de lui un inclassable et donc un marginal au sein du cadastre des champs disciplinaires, plutôt imperméables et hiérarchisés en France. On en est parfois venu à ne plus savoir exactement quel était son métier. Qu’à cela ne tienne. Ne prenant racine dans aucun pré carré spécialisé, il multiplia les incartades, les rencontres, les collaborations et autres fertilisations croisées, sans jamais se sédentariser ni s’attacher. Dans cet entretien, Rudi Meyer revient sur des moments fondateurs de sa carrière et donne à voir sa conception d’un design inclassable, sans cesse réinventé.
