I always appreciate when people who own several books on a subject point me toward the best one, and want to return the favor. This is definitely the best affordable book on Fraktur I own or have seen (I haven't seen the rare and pricy ones). Superbly illustrated with numerous, large, full color illustrations and thoughtful commentary. I think this book has more illustrations than text! Better to get this one than two of the cheaper ones.
