Tim Brown: Flexible Typesetting is now yours, for free

Another title from A Book Apart has been re-released for free. The latest? Tim Brown's Flexible Typesetting. I may not be the utmost expert on typography and its best practices but I do remember reading this book (it's still on the shelf next to me!) thinking maybe, just maybe, I might be able to hold a conversation about it with Robin when I finished it.


Tim Brown: Flexible Typesetting is now yours, for free originally published on CSS-Tricks, which is part of the DigitalOcean family. You should get the newsletter.
