Lettering Alphabets & Artwork: Inspiring Ideas & Techniques for 60 Hand-Lettering Styles

This book is geared towards those who like to digitize their work, giving a quick run down on vocabulary and stages, followed by several “fonts” the author styled. The best part is that it breaks down each style and also provides examples and exercises along the way. Recommended if you want to expand your sense of style for hand lettering.

This book is filled with ideas, examples, and inspiration. NOT a waste of money. You will enjoy this book!

Lots of different fonts with the upper and lower case alphabet and some have numbers.

I got this book because I just needed a lot more fonts to try out and didn't want to have to keep looking them up online. I like how it's laid out and there are some good tips on how to form the letters. What I really didn't want was education--just the fonts. This book provides that! However, a LOT of the fonts chosen are like... exactly the same. So in that way it was a little disappointing and not as varied and diverse as I had wanted in terms of style and tone. Lots of silly looking ones, not a lot of heavy or serious fonts. Also, the examples of "word art" provided between the sections are... interesting. The author features a lot of his own work, which is questionable in design. Words broken up in ways that don't make sense, violates a lot of pretty basic design rules. So I haven't really used or looked at the examples at all.

I love this book - it's not a "workbook" like almost all the others that I've looked at. I don't do lettering to perfect it, rather just to spice up something I'm working on. I'm able to use the book as a tool for that - it shows the general "how to" for the style. And it includes NUMBERS for some of the fonts, something I greatly appreciate! I borrowed this from the library so much I decided to get my own copy. :)

Beautiful book in amazing condition. Quick ship! Thank you!

This book is great, but in the Kindle version the image quality is poor. This is an image heavy book, and they look fuzzy, slightly pixelated, on my first generation iPad Air. Until this issue is addressed I do not recommend purchasing the kindle version.

I have this one and the 100 days of lettering and both are excellent sources of inspiration. I like to flip through and try a different style or get ideas. An excellent resource for any person, beginner or expert.
