In his preface, the editor of the Typografische Monatsblätter, Jean-Pierre Graber, writes:
“The Typografische Monatsblätter are delighted with the realisation of this special edition. Originally it was planned for GGL’s 80^th birthday, but delays can sometimes have their positive sides. Because now we can, as the first journal, express our warmest congratulations to Günter Gerhard Lange on being awarded the Design Prize of the City of Munich, which he will receive on 9^th July 2003 in Munich. Of course we are particularly delighted that this prize goes to a man who, with intensity and love, has dedicated his life to writing and typography, and who has achieved so much.” 

In this special edition, dedicated to Günter Gerhard Lange, the long-time companion, journalist and expert author Yvonne Schwemer-Scheddin conducts an interview with GGL. With 48 richly illustrated pages this is the most extensive and current publication about Günter Gerhard Lange’s life and work.
