Re: "Don't buy this book",
By A Customer
This review is from: Encyclopaedia of Typefaces, Fifth Edition (Paperback)
A great reference! The reason some typefaces in this book are incomplete is that . . . they are incomplete! A complete alphabet does not exist (read the text, dummy). Believe it or not (and setting aside the ambiguous ethical question of appropriation), the purpose of a book like this is not to provide ready-made cut-n-paste-able typefaces for you to rip off, but to serve as a reference.

This review is from: Encyclopaedia of Typefaces, Fifth Edition (Paperback)
This encyclopaedia is thorough in the range of established and classic typestyles. Most contain some information as to its origin, unique qualities, and applications, making this more than just a specimen book.

This review is from: Encyclopaedia of Typefaces, Fifth Edition (Paperback)
I have the 1958 edition of this book as was hesitant to order this newer edition for fear that it wouldn't have many newer fonts. I was surprised to find a new spacious format and a better classification system. Anyone interested in type faces should have a copy of this book.
