Just started reading through this after buying it the other day. Visually stunning and beautifully designed, this book makes an excellent addition to the bookshelf of anyone interested in form, structure and usage of type and lettering.
As a designer myself, I can see that this is one of those books that will be returned to again and again. The writer has a slightly snobbish pride in his craft but, if you are a beginner, don't let him put you off.

The author uses lovely illustrations and a dry sense of humour to convey helpful information about the process of creating your own logos and fonts. The book is roughly divided into those two sections, with the former on logos containing a variety of types of logos -- perfect as a resource of ideas.
The section on fonts was less helpful to me, only because it goes into a very fine level of detail about the exact angles, widths, lengths and so on of each letter in a given font. As I'm not particularly interested in designing fonts for anything other than specific website projects, I don't need the level of expertise he clearly has.
Overall, well worth buying if you're a web or graphic designer.

An invitation to look at type for it's own sake. It reads like a novel and is endlessly inspiring even if the technical aspects are now a bit dated. I love this book!

Not for Kindle
This is one book that is useless on a Kindle. Don't publishers think about these things? For the same money buy the book!

The best design book I own, full stop.
There is a huge amount of inspiration and great tuition in this book. What's more, it's surprisingly funny in places! Read more

A refreshingly unphilosophical approach to letters
The Logo, Font and Lettering Bible is superb and has inspired me to take my own typeface design to a higher level. Read more

Outdated styles
I will be trying to sell this book on Ebay. A lot of the logo and type examples are really outdated and put me off delving deeper into the book. Read more
