When I got this book I was a bit disappointed.There are not very many examples of different "types' of lettering which is what I was looking for.Half of the book is taken up by projects to paint.If you are looking for examples of lettering you'd do better to buy a different book.

Before I spent $ for this, after reading the negative review, I got it out of the library. What a pleasant surprise! Starting right from the beginning, this book is like having 2 friendly teachers leading you step by step in the process of making your own lettering. And they tell you how to make your own patterns you can use over and over if you like. I've since purchased this book and have referred to it often. By following the steps in this book, I've learned how to either use my own handwriting or, even I want, I can print fonts off my computer and use them again and again-not the purpose of this book, but it's another useful thing I figured out after reading how to use a pounce wheel. But I mostly do my own lettering and have been very happy with this book. There are some projects in the back, demonstrating applications of lettering for decorative painters. Really okay and all round I've found this a good buy-I got my copy used, here on Amazon.
