Colleagues,

I'm happy to announce that Titus's excellent PhD dissertation:

Arabic type-making in the machine age:
the influence of technology on the form of Arabic type, 1908-1993

is now available for free download from the British Library.

It's digitized from print, so isn't the highest quality and has no hyperlinks,
but for such a treasure that has been unavailable to most people so far, it's
great to be available now.

There's even a chapter on "Persian type and typography", which covers the
story of the development of Mitra and Nazanin, among other things.

With no further ado, to download, navigate to:

http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?did=1&uin=uk.bl.ethos.627723

then create a free account and login, and order the download version for free.
The download size is ~34MB.

Enjoy!
