The Complete Editor
I finished it!
The writing's fine, I suppose. And for a book about type and typesetting, it's a pretty finely designed paperback.
But... there's nothing "secret" about this book.... Most of it is simply untold because it's not all that interesting.
I am able to recognize and contextualize many more fonts now, though. It's not worthless, but it was a slog to get though some of this.
