| Abstract | "The inspiration for this book came on a trip in August 2012, when [the author] stumbled upon a very unique typeface book in the lounge of the Hotel Rex in San Francisco. [Borchardt] realized then that [his] partner, Jeff Morin (sailorBoypress), has a truly remarkable collection of wood and metal type. Jeff has been actively collecting type since 1989 and this book represents only a small portion of his working collection"--Colophon. |
