Humorous and enlightening retelling of 120 years of typographic history starting in 1886 when Ottmar Merganthaler introduced his 'Linotype' machine; "liberally retold and illustrated by Alessio Leonardi, translated from Italo-German, partly rewritten and enlarged with some slightly more solid historical data by Jan Middendorp, then rewritten again, and partly redrawn by Alessio Leonardi."
