A selected bibliography of typographical research relevant to the production of instructional materials

In preparing this bibliography of research in typography relevant to the design of instructional materials we have tried to be comprehensive, but in a limited way. We have tried to make the coverage broad, but to select within different areas only those papers that have comprehensive reference lists, or that have been recently published and thus are not included in other bibliographies. For a complete overview of the field, readers are especially referred to Herbert Spencer's (1969) The Visible Word which has a bibliography containing over 400 entries. In this bibliography we have divided the material as follows:
