1 Yeah, Jay, it's more of a reference book. Something to have at your desk any time you need to spec type.
2 I am Type Director for FSI. Many advantages to FontBook over any website:
a - Most type is best tested in print. Especially if you plan to PRINT with it.
b - Cross-refs. Rather than ask me here on PVN what font is similar to X, you can find it in FontBook. Think of it as your own personal mini-Typographica.
c - Quick. It's often easier to browse through paper pages than web pages.
d - More historical info. A lot of the dates and credits aren't yet on the site. We'll get it all up there soon, but FontBook is the most commprehensive source for now.
