Along­side Shi­sei­do’s Future Solu­tion LX Range cos­met­ics, The Typo­graph­ic Desk Ref­er­ence is one of Mon­o­cle Mag­a­zine’s Autumn picks of vital life improve­ments.

“Amer­i­can graph­ic design­er Theodore Rosendorf has edit­ed and designed the ‘Typo­graph­ic Desk Ref­er­ence’, a com­pre­hen­sive hard­back about sym­bols, dia­crit­ics, marks and var­i­ous forms of typo­graph­ic fur­ni­ture in Latin-based writ­ing sys­tems. Pub­lished by Oak Knoll in Delaware, a nerdy house spe­cial­is­ing in books about mak­ing books, TDR is a fas­ci­nat­ing peek into the mind of our art depart­ment.”
