I have a secret shame. I am in love with fonts. To be honest I didn't even know it was possible to fall in love with fonts. I was like a man locked in a dark room with Ariel and Times New Roman as his only friends. I didn't know what a Serif font was. The only time I used the word Sans was in the phrase "Sans la pants". As a web designer it was unforgivable.

A year ago my wife introduced me to Veer and it was at that point that I opened the door to web typography. Oh how bright the light shone! During my birth into the life of fonts I've been lovingly coddled by Microsoft's Trebuchet font, but I think the time has come to break out and explore this brave new world.

For that reason I'd love to get my hands on a copy of FontBook. Although it's running $99 it's a beautiful tome of fonty goodness. I also noticed that it's listing for $669 on Amazon.ca. Perhaps I'll buy 10 copies and resell them? PROFIT!

I don't have any kids but this will really come in handy if I do.
