The TDR – Typographic Desk Reference Giveaway
Typographic Desk Reference Giveaway
Time for something different to giveaway. No Helvetica Moleskines, or Type Trumps, instead, this most essential resource book for type fiends everywhere. Yes, you too can have a copy of the ‘Typographic Desk Reference’ book sitting on your bed stand, as you lovingly caress it’s textured hard surface, and you marvel at the sheer majesty of this epic publication.
The TDR is simply a must have book. It is well written, concisely presented and pact full of all the essential ingredients that will speed you on your way to typographic heaven.
You will receive a freshly sealed version, free from my gummy fingers.
I couldn’t be bothered to take any photos, but you can visit the official TDR site for further information. You can also read a review of the book over at ILoveTypography.
I want one
Yes, I am quite sure you do.
So, to have any chance of winning this delightful publication, you must do the following. Mostly consists of pandering to my desire to be the center of everyone’s universe :
- Spam Twitter with how great this giveaway is. (Joke)
- Sign up to my FriendFeed, Twitter and RSS Feed. (I will check to see if the winner has followed those 3 simple steps. If not, then FAIL.)
- Leave a comment below, with Twitter ID. No Twitter ID, no win. Graciass.
- That’s it. No need to beg, plead or grovel. But general comments are nice to read, but these will not be taken into consideration. That’s just how randomness works.
Then a week from now, I will pick a name from random and announce the winner.
Small Print
Any US based winner, will have this sent direct from the Publishers, rather than having to send it back. I had to order these from the States, as there were no UK suppliers. So seems daft me then sending it back.
For any UK or Euro winners, I will send the item direct from my own home, via a reputable Postal Service.

Typography is fascinating. I come from a family of newspaper people, but my interest peaked when studying for my drafting degree. To relax I’d design letters. I’d treasure this book. (jack_carlson)
