Lettering Art in Modern Use

I’ve just managed to get hold of this book by R. A. Ballinger. Published in 1956, it’s a real gem of a book on typography and attempts, through some lovely imagery and in-depth analysis, to answer the question, how do you classify type?

Can’t wait for it to arrive in the post!
