✦ Synopsis

This book has been written for those involved in the writing, design and preparation of instructional materials. It is principally concerned with clarity in the presentation of textual information and related graphic aids. In the opening chapters on typographic planning, the author suggests that some typographical practices may actually hinder rather than help users of text. The point is demonstrated by examples which are shown in their original state and then in revised versions.
