5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST for anyone who loves typography!, September 17, 1999
By Fun with Toys (Stuttgart, AR) - See all my reviews
Dan Solo's book has the most beutiful fonts I've seen. He has a love of typography, and this comes out not just in the quality and number of fonts, but in the manner they are presented. I did my wedding invites with these fonts, and keep looking for reasons to bring back such beautiful typefaces as Nicholas Cochin, or authentic Gold Rush era such as Smuggler, French Kate, and Lyons Egyptian.

5.0 out of 5 stars this is a great book to get really inspired, April 11, 1997
By A Customer
this is a great book to get really inspired and makes to instantly want to create something beatifull with it. Only problem is to get it in your computer system (digitalize it) which takes me about one hour for most headline fonts which don't need so much car

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! What a Nice Collection of Type!, May 9, 2003
By Bill "billsrrempire" (Southern Maryland, U.S.A.) - See all my reviews
  
I received my Solotype Catalog today and it was beyond anything I expected! I have worked with type for over 60 years and this is a wonderful collection of type and includes the colorful 19th Century fonts as well as recent fonts (to 1992). Special effects are well presented. This book is a must for anyone interested in type and letterforms.
