Description: Rochester, NY / Berkeley, CA, Visual Studies Workshop / Poltroon Press, 1988. Paperback. Orange stapled wraps with blue lettering; 36 pp.; richly illustrated. "We are conditioned to look at typography only when it's presented in a recognizable critical context, such as a fine book. But typography plays an important role in everyday life .. This book will explore marginal typography which has significant environmental and social impact. I will discuss the work of graffitists and signwriters who, through innovation, ultimately affect the shape of layout and the design of letterforms." -- Preface. VG (Wraps have light edgewear/scuffing/smudging.) .
