In reply to lettering&politic:
David, don't you realize that I was simply defending myself here? I had no other reason to bring my self into this.
But maybe I should start new threads more diligently. Except I already spend too much time here...
As for recommending specific books, I really couldn't think of one that fits this exact description. Actually, that's not true: Bain and Shaw's "Blackletter: Type and National Identity" - although it's really quite narrow in scope. So/but I'd love to learn of more, hence the "To Follow".
