Last night I attended the book launch of Building Accessible Websites (New Riders, 2002), authored by my friend Joe Clark. The book is, as Joe declares, “a beautiful object you will love to read.” As far as I’m aware, it is the first web design book to sport ligatures, and the voice is unmistakably Joe’s. Yes, that’s a good thing. I’m looking forward to reading the whole thing, and then posting my thoughts over at Digital Web.
One thought on “Book Launch”

Recently I tried to get through a Wrox book on ASP. Besides the lack of spell checking, they insisted on using hash marks for all quotes instead of actual quotes, along with edge-to-edge line lengths of 20+ words.
I’m usually not a typography snob, but reading that book was just painful.
So…thanks Joe…for caring. ;o)
