Script Lettering for Artists (Lettering, Calligraphy, Typography)

As you'll see, there are a multitude of copies of this book available, many sold as the 1965 edition, when they are anything but.They are poor reproductions (2015) of the original 1965 edition. The photographs are blurred, the pages have half the information cut off as this book is also in a reduced size format of the original (maybe Dover books are trying to save money by cutting the size down by 2 inches?)Sellers should be a little more up front with this information, since they know what year the book is, and 2015 is not 1965

On the face of it a cheaply produced book, and yet despite its seemingly random editing this is one of the most exciting books on scripts I've come across. Light and so easy to flip through before stalling and becoming transfixed upon the beauty of one or other of the many offhand scripts. The great typographer Samuel Winfield 'Tommy' Thompson created a classic book here.

Really good book for learning to write or draw Copperplate and related script styles, has an interesting part on layouts as well. The print is not excellent but I wouldn't expect more for the very cheap price. Definitely recommended.

thankyou

Very pleased with this order and would recommend to anyone

Solid book!

Don't bother

My name begins with a J as in Joan, I cannot see a J and the rest of it is rubbish.
