What Is Reading For?
Robert Bringhurst
This succinct
and thoughtful
essay is the
text of a talk
commissioned
for a symposium
titled,
“The Future
of Reading,”
which was
held at RIT in
June 2010. Written and designed
by Robert Bringhurst, this limited
edition is carefully crafted
and letterpress printed. Bringhurst
is a major Canadian poet
and one of the world’s foremost
authorities on typographic history
and practice.
What Our Lettering Needs
Rick Cusick
This book is
an account of
Hermann Zapf ’s
contributions to
the artistry and
success of Hallmark
Cards, an
experience that is
now fully blended into the company’s
rich heritage. Since the late
’70s, designer Rick Cusick has
provided most of what has been
written about the Hallmark/Zapf
association. This beautifully illustrated
book is a tribute to Zapf ’s
own philosophy that the artist’s
challenge is “to ensure, despite
technology and mass production,
that beauty is never lost.”
Colleagues
Anne C. Coon and John Retallack
The RIT Cary
Graphic Arts
Press presents
Colleagues, a
visually stunning
collection
of portraits by
John Retallack
with a companion poem, “Enter
the Eyes” by Anne C. Coon.
Retallack’s photographs reveal
his subjects at rest, at play and
in unguarded moments, while
Coon’s poem reflects metaphorically
on the transformation
that takes place when those
accustomed to lecturing and
performing are caught by the
camera’s lens.
RIT Cary Graphic Arts Press and its co-imprint, RIT Press, are scholarly publishing enterprises at RIT. Originally focusing on publishing
works in the graphic arts field, the Press has expanded into subjects related to the RIT curriculum. To place an order, call
