A Nice Addition to Your Library,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Classic Type Faces and How to Use Them: Including 91 Complete Fonts (Dover Pictorial Archives) (Paperback)
This book is a reprint of "Art Directors' Workbook of Type Faces" so don't do as I did and buy both! The book is well-done and presents many popular foundry type (metal) type faces. I find it valuable when comparing today's digital type fonts with the original. It displays the complete alphabet in a large size for easy comparison and recognition and includes a brief history of the type face. I feel that the book supplements other books such as "Encyclopedia of Type Faces" (Jaspert, Berry, and Johnson).
