Ask HN: What is the most beautifully typeset book you've ever encountered?
4 by luizfelberti | 3 comments on Hacker News.
Recently I've been reading a lot of Tufte's work [0], and also some of Richard E. Mayer's stuff [1], as well as browsing through some older physical books, and started to get a feeling that the old stuff is of far superior quality, and that our tools for web publishing don't come even close. I'm now looking to source some inspiration from the wisdom of the HN crowd, so: what are some examples of superb typography and typesetting you've seen in print? ---------- [0] https://ift.tt/3vTZkAv [1] https://ift.tt/3d1h7gy
