<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">First, I hope you are all safe and sane in these trying times!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Second, I could use your input. I’m teaching a graduate level course on Document Design in the Fall. I’ve taught the course off and on for over a decade now, and I’d like to update my core texts. I’ve found that a good, solid grounding
book really helps—I’ve used Karen Schriver’s work, and Kimball & Hawkins, and I love them both. They are both, however, out of print, and don’t offer all of the resources that I might need if we end up doing this thing in an online or hybrid model. What should
I be using?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve already got Don Norman’s <i>Design of Everyday Things</i> in my maybe-basket, as well as Cairo’s
<i>Functional Ar</i>t. And maybe Wyatt and Devoss’s <i>Type Matters</i>, along with plenty of wonderful pieces of new scholarship from our various journals. What are your must-haves?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance,<o:p></o:p></p>
