| Type: It is a true shame that a) the introductory material is cast in three languages, rather than using the space to go deeper into the subject (in my quick survey, I noticed no chapter on the real end of this era - @1939-43 due to the actions of gentlemen with names like Adolph and (changed to) Benedict, which caused an international spanking leaving many of the German foundries kettles of melted brass, lead and antimony - with even the steel punches destroyed - and with such lovely contents, did the jacket have to be designed by someone with ABSOLUTELY no idea how to use type ornaments, hand-set on a flatbed or cast via paper mache for rotary printing - as halftones and other engravings would be set for mass production? Please, a replacement jacket is in order, as well as setting the included images in the near-universally accepted .utf format to make them usable *as* revived fonts in our age of electronic setting and 31.35 - point faces. (he who got a laugh and the joy of a warm greeting later from IF Stone at the great man's last public appearance, by explaining to an ignorant man the art of 'counting headlines' and why space filling rules made single-column heads convince him the NY Times had flipped its political wig. |

| Dear Winston, many thanks for your note. While we strive for our books to offer a broad access for our international readership (hence the decision for handy trilingual editions), it is true that there is much more to say about the amazing history of typeface design. We had therefore decided to split the contents of 'Type' – please watch out for volume 2 (1901-1938), that is going to be released in about a month or two. I am sure you understand that a book about 'Adolf' would be an entirely different story. As for the high resolution-scans in our online-database, we offer plain tif files (for unlimited Photoshop treatment) in the spirit of the original type specimens: a showcase for the most beautiful features of the typefaces concerned. Enjoy! Best wishes, Florian | |

| Whilst I enjoy reading about early cinema I find it a little concerning to see a book entitled "Movies of the 20s" with a picture of Blue Angel from 1930 on the front cover. Whilst there is a subtitle of "..And Early cinema" this does seem to be rather lax. The main part of the title is "20s" so really the cover should reflect this. I appreciate this can't be changed but perhaps an examination of your picture selection process is required. | |

| Dear Mr. Roberts, Thank you very much for your message. When we started the series, it was decided to keep to the scientifically correct 'historical' decade concept, not to the popular one. That means for the present case that the decade begins with the year 1921 and ends with 1930, although this might seem to be a bit odd at first sight. | |

| Ich besitze viele Titel aus dem Bereich Kunst von Ihnen und finde sie toll; aber nicht jeder hat Kunstgeschichte oder Germanistik studiert. Das Lesen macht weniger Spaß, wenn man auf jeder Seite ein (Fremd-)Wort nachschlagen muss (trotz Leistungskurs Deutsch im Abitur)... | |

| Liebe Lena, vielen Dank für Deine Nachricht. Wir bemühen uns immer um eine möglichst klare Sprache – kannst Du konkrete Titel nennen, bei denen wir verstärkt auf Verständlichkeit achten sollten? Beste Grüße, Florian | |

| Lieber Florian, vielen Danke für die Antwort. Ich kann jetzt kein so genaues Beispiel bringen, da ich die Bücher grad nicht da habe. Wie gesagt - es ist mir in der kleinen Kunstreihe aufgefallen. z.B. "rus in urbe" in einem deutschen Text - ich denke nicht, das die überwiegende Zahl der Leser das versteht. Sicher ist es gerade bei Büchern über Künstler und deren Werke (vorallem bei der Interpretation dieser) "üblich", aber ich denke, es schadet nicht etwas zu vereinfachen und weniger komplizierte Adjektive und Verben verwenden. | |

| Dear Dian, Please accept my compliments on your "big book of..." series & "bob's world" - very delicious stuff beautifully put together. I was just wondering as to if you've ever considered putting together a book on Asian sexual culture? (especially Japanese). I think it would be quite a interesting addition to the Taschen collection. I believe there would be quite a large market interested as well.. Best, Renée |

| Dear Renee- It's funny you ask, as I have wanted to do such a book for years, but feel I don't have adequate contacts in Asia to do the subject justice. | |

| Dear Martin- We considered this at the time of her death, but the rights issues surrounding photos of Miss Page are a nightmare, and ultimately more trouble than the book would be worth. | |
