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

Easy to use!
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. :)

Exactly what I wanted
Lots of different fonts with the upper and lower case alphabet and some have numbers.

Overall a good source for new fonts, but many are the same
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.

Lettering Alphabets & Artwork
Very nice, good quality book. I chose this one over the others because it actually said how many different alphabets there were in the description. You would think that would be important information but none of the others gave that information. Happy with my choice. I recommend this book.

Perfect for Digital Hand Lettering Beginners
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.

Poor image quality in kindle version
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.

Easy to follow
Typography terms are defined well, and the processes for replicating each font are very easy to follow. This book was helpful for a beginner.

PERFECTO PARA TODO AMANTE DE LA TIPOGRAFÍA
El libro es simplemente hermoso, es un gran catálogo de letras además de que te indica cómo dibujar cada alfabeto y cómo llevarlo a un proyecto de lettering. La calidad de la esición del libro es impecable, separa cada alfabeto por estilo tipográfico y entre estilo y estilo te presenta ejemplos de usos en lettering para dichos alfabetos.Cuando era niña mi mamá me obsequió su mecanorma, este libro lo ha superado de forma rotunda, es versátil y fresco. Lo recomiendo si o si

New book, looks used
The book itself is exactly what I wanted. The copy I received looks tattered. The front two corners are bent over, showing the white underneath. The top back corner is bent and multiple pages rolled up. It does not look bent from shipping, it looks like it's been handled a lot.
