Excerpt from How to Make Type Talk: The Relation of Typography to Voice Modulation; Basic Principles as Developed and Proven in Actual Practice The manner in which it was received was an encouragement to put the paper into book form, with a few simple illustra tions to carry the points covered. No pretense has been made to cover illustration, color, stock, etc., in relation to typography, owing to subject limitation. Neither has any attempt been made to extravagantly show finely illustrated composition such as may be found in leading magazines, catalogs and books.
