"THE" indispensable reference for the subject,
By A Customer
This review is from: American Metal Typefaces of the Twentieth Century, 2nd Revised Edition (Paperback)
Mac McGrew has comiled an amazingly complete sample book of very nearly every metal typeface made in the United States in the 20th century, which number in the thousands. The addition of additional notes and tidbits makes it more entertaining, but primarily this is an encyclopedic reference, showing each typeface, with information on designer, foundry, history of the face, and cross-references to closely related faces. Highly recommended
5.0 out of 5 stars
A Typeface Authority "Must Have",
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: American Metal Typefaces of the Twentieth Century, 2nd Revised Edition (Paperback)
If your able to secure a copy of this book for your own, You should. This Book gives the who, what, where and when about Metal Type faces. Being a Journeyman Letterpress Printer, It's my refrence on matching Metal Type styles. Having the only known complete working collection of Metal Script Fonts for a Ludlow Typograph Machine. I searched the World for them. It gave me the needed knowledge to know all what was available at one time. Any questions BellPrint3@aol.com
It's rare to find one of these books. |
