the Type Directors Club of NY (published for the first time 1980) is a bible of inspiration for typography practitioners

Lettering, which has its own jury. The Award for Typographic Excellence is the

owners as visual thought leaders.In one book you can see works from thirty-nine countries and regions, which include: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Lebanon, Macau, Malta, Moldova, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Philippines, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, Venezuela and Vietnam.This edition also includes a special index listing the principal typefaces used and the names of their designers. The Judges' Choices section features the winning entries that have been singled out as each judge's personal favorite; these pieces are accompanied not only by the judges' comments but also by designer statements. These components--along with this year's chairs, Kimya Gandhi and Trisha Tan --exemplify the enormous vitality of the typography profession.
