Its a bit like surfing the Internet in the early days -- you're never quite sure what you'll bump into. If you're anything like me, you won't read this book from front to back. Instead, you'll sample it, dip in, and enjoy. all while finding answers, obscurities, and some truly amazing personalities." - Jim Hamilton, What They Th!nk History of Desktop Publishing is a personal and encyclopedic story of how the personal computer, unique applications, and many colorful people changed the creative and print communities.

This installment ends as the Internet becomes a primary focus. It is hard to imagine someone more involved with the universe of desktop publishing from its beginnings than Romano, who takes us on a personal journey from the end of the typewriter era to the age of the Internet, examining the development of personal computers, pagemaking and graphic design programs, postscript, digital fonts, data storage, inkjet printing, GUIs, and the rise of the digital era. For those who grew up during--or built their careers on--these advances, this book provides entertaining perspective and insight on an important period of their lives. For younger readers, it is a fascinating narrative of modern ancient history: how we got from the typewriter to DTP.
