Dutch Type reprint now on Kickstarter
Dutch Type was published in March 2004 and was received with huge enthusiasm. Its 3,500 copies sold out in 3 years. The book soon became hard to find and ended up being offered at embarrassingly high prices on Amazon and eBay – from 500 € to $ 1,200 for a copy.
