Hou Jie's "word typographical art" was published. It was said that it was still commercially available in the Xidan Book Building some time ago, and it had the taste of publishing a book by some stars. Unfortunately, it was too busy that day, otherwise, you will be close at hand (my company is at work next to the west single book building) and be sure to see the busy scenes.

Because this book was a good book, I went to the site of Hou Jie and downloaded the following chapters. I thought it was really good. After reading this book, I wrote a little bit of unnoticed thoughts.

Expectation

Expectations of Hou Jie's word typographical Art
As Mr. Hou Jie's well-received masterpiece can only end with a simple taste. He was deeply impressed by the process of reading these books: the layout is great. Later, I came to Hou Jie's website and mentioned that these books are all written in Word format. Later I saw Mr. Hou say that he would like to publish a book about word formatting, which really aroused my interest.
I don't know how many classic Programs Mr. Hou has written, but he has published many books that I know a little about. More importantly, these books are said to have been made by themselves. Think about how much valuable experience will be accumulated from over 30 books. Although the WYSIWYG of word makes many people think that they have understood what typographical technology is called, in fact, there are few and fewer documents with good typographical style. The importance of the document is self-evident. However, sometimes it is difficult to grasp the simpler things. Fortunately, word typographical art is about to be published.
I am very much looking forward to this book.

Direct impression

Of course, I have no right to speak without investigation. The above is just my own feeling. Last Thursday, at noon, I went to the Xidan Book tower and wanted to buy this book. To be honest, I felt very uncomfortable when I saw the cover of this book on my website, it seems that there are not many titles in IT books, but I hope the publishing house has used a lot of titles, which may leave a bad impression on me.

When I arrived at the bookstore and found the book, I couldn't wait to review it for a while. The interest has been greatly reduced: although it is a book about typographical art, it does not seem to have much artistic components in it, many places use the font "" and he does not understand Hou Jie's practice. In his book, he also said that is the most accepted font, but he has used so many s for himself.There is no explanationIs it just because I like it?

As you can see, Mr. Hou has some experience with "style", and he wrote a very beautiful section and explained it in a near-interactive manner. The results are indeed good. Some peopleMacroAndCross-referenceI don't quite agree with the comment. Maybe programmers have never read the word typographical books, which will be explained in those books. Word is an easy-to-use tool. It is not easy to achieve a certain level because its basic functions are too easy, so everyone is not very concerned about how to use word to improve work efficiency. As we all think in HTML, it is not easy to quickly create a beautiful page.

In just a few minutes, I decided not to buy this book,Coarse grains should be made in detail, but it may not be good to stir-fry.How much money do you save?

About Other

According to my understanding, Mr. Hou seems to have never been familiar with latex. Furthermore, it seems that he is not familiar with open source outside windows, if he has used modern typographical tools such as latex, he may not be so fond of word. After all, he also enjoys an efficient way of working. Just like drinking water, it's easy to know ......

What you see is what you get, or what you think is what you get. This is a problem!
