 San Serif Display Type Over and Over and Over... Jun 26, 2010
I glanced at the full-sized book in the book store before I bought the smaller version. The smaller version, while it measures 6x6, is really too small to be looking at these images. If you must buy this book, buy the larger size.
Looking more closely at the designs, they're not recent...they're from the late 1990s. The most current image I saw was from 2004 (it's now 6/2010). That's ancient history as far as graphic design goes. There's absolutely no background info on the samples either...no context whatsoever. The biggest faux pas though is that upon closer inspection, 90% of the type is boxy san serif display type...over and over and over again. You'd think no other style existed. It just gets old. While much of the design in the book is interesting, the typography...not so much. So buy this book for the design aspect but not necessarily for type inspiration.
I'd love to see a new "Type Treatments II" with a larger cross-section of typographic usage, and more recent examples.

 what's the font? Feb 13, 2010
it would be nice to know what typeface or family or anything about the type being presented. kind of useful for quick ideas, but not really much for understanding the fonts themselves.
 1000 - the best Dec 10, 2009
It is one of the most good books on graphic design.
In the book the considerable quantity of examples of use of fonts in design is picked up.
It is very interesting to examine each work.
This book should be at each graphic designer.

Mildly disappointed Oct 21, 2009
I'm not sure what my expectations were when I ordered this book however after seeing a number of examples within I had to ask myself, "Do people really read the copy (or even some of it) from half these designs?"
There are some good examples but I find most are impractical to everyday design. I find it hard to believe that stamping a half dozen fonts on top of each other is good communication "design" unless maybe it isn't meant to be read.
This is a first glance thumbing through of the book and subjective, probably based on personal preference. I see a number of readers liked this book quite well.
