5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional
This book is a gem.
Not only do the typefaces come in a variety of styles but they are so unique and very hard to find.
I looked at over 5 typeface websites, wether for free or not, and I cannot find all of the typefaces in this book online..which makes this book valuable.
It's not easy to scan the type or trace it, but if you have the patience to do that,...

3.0 out of 5 stars I had hoped for more
After reading a few reviews about this book, I had high expectations, but I was a little disappointed by the variety of the typefaces. I would rather have twice as many types than every type in ten different sizes... Maybe it is a little outdated for me. There are a lot of types though, and maybe it would be perfect for someone a little less picky.

It's not easy to scan the type or trace it, but if you have the patience to do that, the uniqueness of each typeface pays off.

Also, everyone loves a spiral - bound book, since it's easy to flip the pages and "shop" for that perfect typeface.
