BOOK NOTES

PETER HANSELL

A mail-order company specializing in ends of lines or overstocked academic and reference books at half-price or less has recently come to our notice. It is called POSTSCRlPT and its website http:/hww. sandpiper. co. uk/postscript provides all necessary further infor- mation.

In a recent catalogue there was notice of a book entitled The Complete Tvpographer-A Manual for Design- ing with Type by Christopher Perfect, published by Little, Brown & Co. (London, 1992) reduced from 225 to E14.99. Beautifully produced, this book would be of interest to medical

illustrators, if only for its ‘Directory of Typefaces’ and a concluding chapter on ‘Desktop Typography’.

The April 1997 catalogue includes an Encyclopaedia of Typefaces by Jaspert, Berry & Johnson (4th edn), published by Blandford (1995), 416pp., illus- trated. Reduced from E35 to E14.99.

Putting clinical television on sheels (McDonald, H.P.)

A description of adapting standard equipment, e.g. a hospital trolley and a window cleaner’s ladder, to provide mobile colour television [services] within a teaching hospital. The author has used this arrangement for surgical, endoscopic and microscopic recording. The same equipment is used to provide playback facilities anywhere in the hospital at short notice.

As long as you’re not mistaken for a portel; I suppose it’s O K . . . !
