Mac is not a typewriter, The (Paperback, 2nd edition)


Appropriate for all introductory courses on print publishing, desktop publishing, typography, or document production.

This completely revised edition continues in the original's tradition by providing students with simple, logical principles for using type to produce beautiful, professional documents. The renowned Macintosh and graphic design instructor Robin Williams has added a thoroughly revised chapter on fonts, and updated the entire book to reflect extensive changes in software and hardware since the original edition was published. Her wide-ranging coverage includes these and many other topics: real vs. generic quotation marks, the correct use of en and em dashes, tabs, indents, hyphenation, justification, kerning, leading, and white space; and what to do about widows, orphans, and hanging punctuation. This concise book will be indispensable for beginning-level students who need fast answers for publishing the highest-quality documents, and it will be an equally useful reference for students with more experience in document production.
