As one of the authors, I think this book came out ahead of its time. When Charlie and I researched the subject back in 1977-1979, we could not find a comparable book on the market. We were teaching journalism and publication design and felt we could put our ideas on paper and help even more than our in-person students. That proved to be the case. When Charlie died, suddenly, in 1981, I sold the book to Dynamic Graphics, Inc. and made two updates to the book over the next three or four years. I am now retired (aged 76) and am very proud of this book.
