5.0 out of 5 stars There's alot of love gone into the making of this book, 19 Jan 2009

By	Camera Lucida (London) - See all my reviews

I got this as a present a while ago and I must say that the title threw me a little.

The book is all about handmade typography. Its not so much about being a reference manual or a how to but is a great inspiration when thinking about typography in your work.

The book features many different artists and is wonderfully made with soo much attention to detail.

If your interested in finding out more about handmade typography or just looking for something to inspire you then this is a great choice of book.

1.0 out of 5 stars What a misleading title!, 13 Mar 2009

By	John Broadwater - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book isn't about hand jobs at all! Talk about flagrant false advertising!

I, for one, was most disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lettering Obsession, 28 Jan 2009

By	S. E. Lewis-newton "Librarybird" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I love this book I wish it was twice as long. I love typefaces and fonts and calligraphy and lettering, this has some amazing illustrations. I'm often looking for inspiration and this has it in spades! Well put together and easy to dip into, I highly recommend it.
