We came across The Typography Manual in the Apple Appstore just a week or so ago when searching for type related apps and almost snagged it. We have not purchased it yet, but it looks to be a nice one for all your type heads out there. (Via Müller-Brockmann)

Werner Design Werks came out with a book entitled “Alphabeasties and Other Amazing Types.” The fold-outs are a nice touch and I like the additional information it gives with ever letter/animal. Great stuff and for sure worth a look/purchase.

I have been getting into graphic design from Iran again and there is a name that I always love seeeing, Ghobad Shiva. His work is varies from illustration to modernist with a strong sense of typography.

He has a site that shows all of his works, here. Ghobad also has a new book out on his works that shows almost his complete body of work. For sure worth a visit and a bookmark.

NY Times has a nice article on David Weidman’s new book. It’s really good.

Today we put up more books on sale, one may have been what you were looking for. Some nice titles and more should be going up each week, so keep tuned. Books starting as low as 99 cents!
