Typographica, you sly dog

Why have you kept your secret from us?
I've had wet dreams about such books, I hope you answer when I call in my order.
Thanks for providing something so insanely awesome!!!

Your wet dream could have been satiated in November when the FontBook release was posted in the NTB!
I don't answer the calls, but I could sign one for you.

do you think the one I bought in 1993 is still up to date?
- Typographica0
Nope. Especially as there are now cross-refs, which is basically a mini version of me, in print form. Know all those big long lists of similar fonts I post here in PVN once in a while? They are in the new FontBook.
* More specimens (32%)
* More foundries (39%)
* More cross-references (300%)
* Less clutter
* One single volume (index and content together)
* More language/encoding information
* Improved specimens (more complete and more relevant to each typeface category)

Well I must have missed it (obviously) and looking for the type navigator link last night revealed it to me. I even did a search of the NTB, PBS, and PVN without finding anything. Either way, awesome book and thank you.

I wish I could sign one for every PVNer, but you have to pick it up at our office. I can't sign the books that are shipped from our warehouse. (Unless you fly me out to you for a personal signing.)
v4 - Perhaps you were searching for "Font Book" with a space? When in doubt, try Google.
- version30
yep, the space, that was the problem

i think it's funny the issue v4 was having turned up to in itself, be typographic...

Once the iPhone comes out Font Book will be obsolete.
