This guy is Canada's most underrated literary genius - not that we're swimming in them, by any means. And I second Nigel: check out RB's poetry, on display in the forthcoming "Robert Bringhurst: Selected Poems" due out this April from Gaspereau Press. Excellent posting.

Bringhurst's "The Elements of Typographic Style" remains the definitive manual, as far as I'm concerned. It's the volume I always recommend to typographers just starting out, and sits up there on my typography reference shelf in central position. He's a very wise man.
