I agree with some of the points made in the text:

" There are ways of setting lines of type which may work well enough, and yet keep the reader subconsciously worried by the fear of 'doubling' lines, reading three words as one, and so forth."

"Typography is modernist" in the sense that how it looks is considered by the designer.

"Talking, broadcasting, writing, and printing are all quite literally forms of thought transference, and it is the ability and eagerness to transfer and receive the contents of the mind that is almost alone responsible for human civilization."

However some points are now redundant, for example is states that: "printing in English will not qualify as an art until the present English language no longer conveys ideas to future generations, and until printing itself hands its usefulness to some yet unimagined successor."

Which I don't think is true today, print is now considered an art because nothing has succeeded it yet.
