4.0 out of 5 stars
bread and butter - no jam,
By Jean de Waal (Iowa City, Iowa, United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Celtic and Medieval Alphabets: 53 Complete Fonts (Lettering, Calligraphy, Typography) (Paperback)
This text is not a coffee table art book. And at first I was disappointed in my purchase but it had what I was looking for as far as bare bones examples of celtic alphabets. For the price I should not have expected a "pretty" book. But it gives many clear and useable examples of illuminated letters for those who are looking for exactly that. For this reason it was worth the money.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great for typographers with such particular interest,
By A Customer
This review is from: Celtic and Medieval Alphabets: 53 Complete Fonts (Lettering, Calligraphy, Typography) (Paperback)
This is one straight forward book. It delivers what it says: complete fontfaces from the early gothic period mainly on england, nordic, and celtic cultures. a complete set of characters of a font is spread on single pages, most of them at only one and the same point size. They vary from simple strokes to some of the most ornamented and complex sets ever created. Don't expect information concerning the background of the fonts or any other contextual related content.
