The ABCs of Hand Lettering

Pretty but not very instructional. Is eye candy. The book is very colorful with lots of font samples but ABSOLUTE NO DIRECTION ON HOW TO CREATE THE TYPES. There about 80-something pages of pretty art work. There are a few pages of the basic description of what makes a letter and how to create a design. It is mostly examples of what can be done but very little on how to do it. I guess it is very well worth it for the price of download.. Only a little how-to, but TONS of gorgeous inspiration! Although I wish this were more of a how-to book, as one might think a book titled "ABCs of" would be, I completely forgive the lack of depth in that area due to the wide array of beautifully laid out inspiration!This book does have some explanations of font info, some tips, some FAQs, but where it shines is the middle where a multitude of typeface artists display a selection of their work and talk about how they got into lettering. There is such variety here, such colors, it's fanta. Great information sfoster95 I really enjoyed this book. It is loaded with examples. I will be using it often. My only disappointment is that the kindle version wouldn't let me bookmark any pages. It was more like a PDF file than a kindle book.
