This book has many examples which describe the techniques of hand-lettering with pen and ink and their evolution into the letterforms for typecasting and printing. My major interest in this book is that I believe that a thorough understanding of the origins of the written letterform is of great interest and value to the typographer and type designer. The section of the book which details the proportions of the Roman majuscules and minuscules is worth the price of the book. P.S. I am grateful that Dover Publications, Inc. New York is keeping so many books of on these valuable historical subjects in print. Comment Was this review helpful to you?
