Hand Job...A catalog of Type

I'm such a fan of TYPOGRAPHY! This weekend I'll be buying Mike Perry's " A Catalog of Type Hand Job." I swear, that title stopped me dead in my tracks when I first saw it! Ha! It's an older book, so I can't believe I don't it. For those of you who aren't familiar, it contains work by 55 of some of the most talented freehand typographers! Enjoy your weekend!

  6. Clever title. No better way to get people to look at your book then making them do a double take when they see it on the shelf.

  11. don't get me started on typography... love, love, love it. it's a completely different art form isn't it? I lack the requisite patience to be a font designer...but can't stop drooling over the work of others! :)

  12. The title is a head-turner!

    Fonts are becoming the new paintings don't you think?
