Robert Bringhurst authored two editions of a book entitled The Elements of Typographic Style. Originally published in 1992, it was revised in 1996. The book, which is an overview of typography, has been praised by Hermann Zapf: he reportedly said (as cited in "Amazon.com" listed in the "References" section) "I wish to see this book become the Typographers' Bible".
