Drawing on Type
Autor Frank Newfelden Limba Engleză Paperback – aug 2008
Frank Newfeld, `type-cast' (as it were) as a book designer-cum-illustrator, as well as a designer of printed matter for art galleries, gives us a fascinating memoir both from the standpoint of human interest and from the standpoint of his involvement in the book trade -- in publishing, editing, illustration, and design. Drawing on Type is historically valuable in providing a portrait of publishing in Canada in its formative decades.
Mr Newfeld was, for many years, Vice-President (Publishing) at McClelland & Stewart.
