Tipografia Del XX Secolo is a unique rare book catalog devoted to type and typography issued by L'Arengario Studio Bibliografico in Italy. Of course, that does not tell you how extensive the offerings are - from W.A. Dwiggins to Neville Brody with more books by Sutnar, Tschichold, Updike, and Sutnar and others. Among the well known are some unknown rarities, including books by Vincent Steer, Maurice Storez, and Rudolf Von Larisch (a brilliant letterer), and includes style manuals, type specimens, and festschrifts. The catalog is an historical document in its own right. For a tantalizing peek visit their website (above). (Thanks to Victor Margolin for passing this on).
