5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent fun font book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Blip in the Continuum: A Celebration of Grunge Typography! : Windows Edition (Paperback)
I gave the Mac version of this book as a gift to my hard-to-buy for sister and it was a winner! I am SOOO glad there's a Windows version for the non-Mac crowd. Every book by Robin Williams is visually inspiring and I especially liked the orginality of this one! Keep those books comin' Robin
4.0 out of 5 stars
Great fonts, well written - but maybe overpriced.,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Blip in the Continuum: A Celebration of Grunge Typography! : Windows Edition (Paperback)
The fonts featured in the book are great. Not only are
they varied and interesting, but they are also very
versatile. However, if you're not interested in the
phsycho-babble, new age publishing, and "celebration of
grunge typography", you can find most of the fonts freely
available on the internet and packaged with other fonts
in larger, less expensive colloections. On the whole,
though, it is a good read.
