Here's a book that every graphic artist and studio will want to have on hand. Noted typographer and print historian Dan X. Solo presents 100 complete, high-impact, copyright-free fonts in bold roman, italic, or cursive script. Almost all fonts come with lower- and upper-case alphabets, and almost all include numerals. Many also contain vignettes and/or various punctuation marks. Among these fonts is a great variety of densities and styles, providing artists with a maximum number of opportunities for creating the right look―from the elegant Adastra Royal to the commanding Elvira Bold Italic. Also available are Brandy Script, Derby, Discus Semibold, Fulton Sign, Gloriosky, Mardi Gras, Signwriter's Script, Veltro Bold, Brush, Diana Bold, Flash, Gillies Gothic, Lily Ann, Novelty Script, Swinger, Zorba Solid, and more than 80 other attractive fonts. This treasury of outstanding, yet immensely practical typefaces is ready for effective use in headlines, newsletters, on posters, signs, menus―all forms of print media. Original Dover (1989) publication.

This is a great reference work for any graphic designer who likes to have fun. My copy of the book didn't come with the CD-ROM so I can't comment on that aspect of the publication, however the book alone is worth the investment. While the best brush script should be done by hand, this book is the next best thing. Within 100 pages Solo has a nice variety of typefaces, the best of which have that wonderful kitsch feeling. This book is perfect if you are looking for a groovy sixties or fat fifties script font. However some parts of the collection have a few faces that aren't so great, for example everyone must have a copy or version of "Baloon Extra Bold". But there are a few jems every few pages, so you won't be let down if you are trying to get that fifties classified ad look - or need a script font that looks like it feel off of a Doors album cover. Professional designers should take careful note of the copyright notice, as you are only allowed to use only six words in any project. While I find this limiting, ... one can't be too let down!
