This is a stunning book. I absolutely love Robert Bringhurst's style. The book itself is a perfect example of typography, layout and high production values.

This book was originally published in 1992. The title comes from a fact that Frederic Goudy said:
Anyone who would letterspace lowercase would steal sheep.
This is apparently a misquote according the WikiPedia and Robin Williams. Goudy actually said:
Anyone who would letterspace blackletter would steal sheep
Blackletter is usually referred to as Gothic and the Goudy wisdom encompasses the idea that this kind of font depends on a tight relationship between the adjacent leterforms.
