{"product_id":"9780898154016","title":"Decoration and Its Uses","description":" Johnston traces the development of letterforms \u0026amp; type, \u0026amp; the use \u0026amp; application of formal writing. Among the topics of importance to calligraphers \u0026amp; designers are the value of decoration, its proper application, \u0026amp; its practice \u0026amp; usage. Includes diagrams of page layouts illustrating how calligraphy is applied to book work. The essay was handlettered in 1930 by John C. Tarr, a former student of Johnstons, to illustrate the teachings of his past master. The pages were sewn into a simple paper over boards binding with a cloth spine. It was originally published in book form in 1971. This new edition re-introduces the book to a new audience.
