Pre-order ‘Herb Lubalin: Typographer’ by Adrian Shaughnessy and Tony Brook

Herb Lubalin: Typographer is an upcoming book from the folks at Unit Editions — not to be confused with United Itions, which is how my brain nearly always processes their URL and Twitter handle — about the work of American graphic designer Herb Lubalin:

Herb Lubalin claimed not to be a great typographer. ‘In fact,’ he said, ‘I’m terrible, because I don’t follow the rules.’ This new book proves the opposite.

It comes with new texts, new design, new photography, and lots of previously unpublished material – and with a price tag that makes it accessible to a wide audience.

As of this writing (May 17th, 2016) the book is expected to start shipping in 3–4 weeks. Pre-order it for £29.50 (~$43 USD) at Unit Editions. Postage is free worldwide.
