Web Type is a Knock-Out (Editor's Choice),
By
This review is from: The Designer's Guide to Webtype: Your Connection to the Best Fonts Online (Paperback)
This book was selected as our Editor's Choice for March 2002 for several reasons...First, it's a masterpiece of visual delights -- each of the fonts reviewed includes the font in creative use, actual publications where they have appeared, or simply a creative expression. Most importantly, the book contains full descriptions, foundry, author/artist and details about the font. Then the second half of the book shows full font listings in both positive and negative. Sweet. All in all the book is a delight to hold and browse. Even if you're not looking for a font, the visuals are stunning -- printed in full color on 100lb enamel stock. We highly recommend "Designers Guide to Web Type" for your connection to the best fonts online... or purely for its aesthetic value -- making it the editor's choice in this month's Design-Bookshelf.com.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Just one small problem,
By Isabella Valentine - www.IsabellaValentine.com (Bloomington, IN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Designer's Guide to Webtype: Your Connection to the Best Fonts Online (Paperback)
Yes this book has some of the best fonts online and gives websites on where to buy them.
Yes this book is excellent quality, full color, excellent graphics, accurate, edited wonderfully. Yes this is a fantastic fonts book - one of the best I've seen. But... one small problem. A huge majority of these fonts come one website (lunchbox studios) which is no longer in business. I tried to buy the fonts myself. The company turned off their phone, their credit card system, etc. even though their website looks like it is up and working. So even though the fonts may LOOK good in the book... they will most likely not be available where it says.

Lunchbox Studios,
By
This review is from: The Designer's Guide to Webtype: Your Connection to the Best Fonts Online (Paperback)
Isabella Valentine's report of Lunchbox Studios being out of business is not quite accurate - I just bought their font set today (03/01/05). The company is in transition, having moved recently from New York City to Los Angeles. The Web site has yet to be updated with the current contact information, so it's easy to understand how Isabella concluded that they're out of business (I almost gave up myself). Lunchbox is actually under the same roof as Reelhouse.com.
Actually I'm just as happy for Isabella's comment, since it led me to Lunchbox and their excellent set of fonts.
