FontShop have just released an iPad version of their iconic “FontBook” resource. Like its print progenitor, which was 1,500 pages long and massive, this app is a 524MB download. But worth it.
The most amazing part is that it costs a ridiculously affordable US$5.99 in the App Store. Before you buy you can find out more here.
(Update: I just came across a terrific write-up for the FontBook app from Jens Tenhaeff. Read it here.)
Also worth noting: four years ago, in this blog post, I interviewed typographer and well-known type expert Stephen Coles about his work on the last major revision of the print edition.
