Identify A Font,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Precision Type Font Reference Guide (Paperback)
The title sums it up. This is a reference for fonts. The sample print is very fine quality displaying listed fonts at their best. This is a book that has a place on any graphic artist's bookshelf. I thumb through this like a dictionary. So many fonts are listed this book would be huge if not for the fine weight of the paper it is printed on. This makes the book fragile for a frequently handled reference. This is my only regret.

Font Reference Guide a Typesetters must!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Precision Type Font Reference Guide (Paperback)
I highly recommend!! It is an excellent font reference book for anyone that uses many fonts for production or personal use. Having an extensive "visual" of fonts makes matching up new client fonts so much easier. A must have for typsetters and graphic designers.

Great Reference guide,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Precision Type Font Reference Guide (Paperback)
I think this book is an excellent reference for designers who constantly need typographic inspiration. The dingbat collections are excellent to use as graphics. The book does not actually contain the fonts, so don't buy it thinking you're going o get thousands of fonts.
