| Description | In 1886, the publisher of the New York Herald exclaimed to Ottmar Mergenthaler, “Ottmar, you have cast a line of type!” Thus, the Linotype machine and company were born. Fast-forward 120 years: Linotype remains on the forefront of global communication, providing tools that make the lives of designers and computer users easier every day. We’ve decided that it is time to celebrate! In a new book titled “A Line of Type: 120 Years of Typographic History,” Alessio Leonardi and Jan Middendorp explain the tumultuous and exciting history of our company through a series of brilliant black and white comic book illustrations and captions. With 112 pages (at 148 x 210 mm), this paperback book is a bargain at the price of 19 USD/EUR.
