USER GUIDE


BROWSING BY AUTHOR OR TITLE
To browse for a specific author or title, click on Authors or Titles in the menu at the top of this site, then click the letter tab to the left that corresponds to the first letter in the author’s last name or the beginning of the book’s title. Next, implement the “find on/search this page” feature on your web browser to quickly locate any occurrences of the keyword.
SEARCHING WITH THE SEARCH ENGINE
You may search for books by author through entering the author’s first name, last name, or both into our search engine. Likewise, you may also search by entering a book title or just part of the title into our search engine. Please Note: It’s best to look for a more unique word in a title instead of words such as; “font, type, typography or design” as most of these book titles have those words in them.
TYPEBOOKS’ STYLE
Titles of books are distinguished by the use of italics throughout TypeBooks. Wherever necessary, titles may also be emphasized to indicate a hyperlink by either an underscore, appearing in a different color, or both. Highlighted book titles at TypeBooks typically lead to a source where you may purchase that book. Please read our hyperlink policy for more info. While browsing through the indices you may see a three-em dash (———) where you would expect to see a title or author listed. This simply indicates the name(s) or title(s) in the previous entry is repeated here.

TypeBooks makes use of proper typographic elements whenever possible. Characters such as english double quotes (“ ”), apostrophes (’) and em dashes (—) appear throughout TypeBooks. A few web browsers may not render these characters faithfully and as a result, they may appear as different characters or simply as blank em squares.

The font specified in TypeBooks’ stylesheets, Georgia, was chosen for its superior performance in this medium and because it’s availabile to our readers for free. Georgia is a part Microsoft’s collection of Core Fonts for the Web and can be downloaded from their website. The use of Georgia is recommended for an accurate representation of this website.

ABOUT ISBN & ISSN
The International Standard Book Number (ISBN) is a ten digit identification system for libraries, publishers and booksellers to uniquely identify a book, CD or videotape title and to differentiate between specific editions. The International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) is an eight digit identification system for libraries, booksellers and postal services to uniquely identify all serial media, e.g.- magazines, catalogs and journals. Using ISBN and ISSN numbers when ordering can avoid any possible confusion with another publication.
