From the dust jacket: "In 1923, when the Monotype Corporation appointed Stanley Morison, then 33, as Typographic Adviser, neither he nor they realised that a revolution in the form of printed letters, more substantial than any since Gutenberg invented printing from moveable types, was about to take place. This revolution was largely due to Morison and his powerful personality; its influence is world-wide and still continuing... Mr. Barker has written an account of Morison's life at once balanced and humane, with a rare degree of insight into his complex and fascinating character, He has been able to draw on the private papers of those whom knew Morison best."
