While checking out the book shelf at our local Oregon Trail (twitter) coffee shop, I found a hidden gem. The title was ‘The Newspaper Designer’s Handbook’, and I never thought to find so many great examples of design layout. Inside were explanations on how to set up a grid based layout, why it is important, basic typography concepts, and best practices for images and captions. The version I flipped through was published in the seventies, but the content was just as relevant today and it was then.

What books have your read lately that suprised you?
