Hi there,
Has anybody read this book "Reading Letters: Designing for Legibility"? Is it a good resource? Does it worth buying it?
Thanks in advance.

As I said here, I think it’s a good book with a bad title. It doesn’t always follow through with a complete analysis of specific methodologies or legibility studies, but it does collect many resources and examples that could be a very useful starting point for a beginning to intermediate type designer.0

It is an excellent book. I recommend it to anyone who is interested in legibility of letters and fonts, and to all but the most veteran of type designers.0
