I hate that book. It made my eyes bleed.

I agree that the 'artsy layout' does a terrible disservice to the content. It adds nothing of value, and makes it difficult on some pages to actually SEE the fonts. I wish they would re-release the book as a simple print selection of the wonderfull interviews.

Nevertheless, I saw it on sale the other day in a FRY'S for 8 dollars, so if you can pick up a used or discounted copy, it really is an interesting overview of how different editors approach their craft.
