              Canadian typographer and book designer Bringhurst updates Chappell's (1904-91) history, which was published by the New York Times in 1970. Chappell was a type and book designer and author. Bringhurst incorporates not only the digital revolution of the past two decades, but also new typographical research on the history of the printed word.
