"It would be fair to say I was just blown away by the wealth of technical detail that Haralambous has put into the book...I can't think of another book I've seen to compare this to. Certainly within the area of font implementation, there's nothing else like it that I'm aware of. Overall, I rate this an exceptional achievement."
