Items related to True to Type: An Autobiography of Ruari McLean
This well-written autobiography of the renowned book designer, author and typographer captures a fascinating life and a remarkable era in British publishing. McLean's compelling story begins with his birth in the Scottish lowlands, and describes his school days at Oxford, the war years as a British officer on a French submarine, and his introduction into the London publishing scene. Along the way, we meet the "movers and shakers" of Britian's post-war publishing world as he built his career.
Through McLean's eyes we are treated to a unique view of the bygone period of Great Britian's publishing history. Co-published with The British Library.
