Design with Type, first edition

Design with Type was the first book in English to deal with type as a design material. It was also the first book to discuss typographic design in a contemporary sense, applying the principles of the Bauhaus to the problem of commercial printing in a completely practical, workable way. The book is comprised largely of material Dair prepared for the five E. B. Eddy booklets he produced, as well as his teaching at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and L’École des Beaux-Arts in Montreal.
