Typography Sketchbooks

The copy in the book is nominal, but its really about the sketches anyway. I've been illustrating for years and was looking to get more into custom type and hand lettering and this is a great, wide and varied reference that will give tons of ideas. Especially if you're into type but not yet an expert, seeing these really diverse sketches will help you nail down your own work. It's also just a huge book, tons of images. Really happy with it.

I will be poring over this book for a long time! Great addition to my library!

One of my favorite books! It is a look into a vast amount of artists sketchbooks, which is a very crucial part of learning to imagine type. Everything you could possibly want to be inspired from is inside this book. From broad to tiny text, it is a compendium of ideas and methods of creating text. I would highly recommend this book for the budding artist.

As a lover of type and a fan of Louise Fili or Milton Glaser I fell in love with this book. As a young artist in the making I was able to learn so much more about other famous/well known artists/typographers just by buying and sitting down to read this book. Alone it is inspiring by just flipping through it's pages.. it's a keeper

I bought this as a gift for my adult daughter and really didn't want to give it away. I found everything about this book to be intriguing. It's one of those books that you want to spend hours with...leave it, think, create, and then go back to it. I can't wait for her to bring it home on her next visit.

I ordered this as a gift for a friend who is aspiring to become a graphic artist. She loved it! There were so many cool fonts to look at and I loved how the designers of the fonts left their website names in the back. It was perfect, fun to read through, and will hopefully help inspire her in the future. Thanks!

It’s a beautiful publication, just not what I was expecting.

I wasn't quite sure what to expect when this book arrived, as typography is normally a rather straight laced subject area, but the cover took the folksy, scribbly approach.Quite a delight to look through the pages bursting with every possible approach to this subject.It is always a privilege to view sketchbooks, especially if they are the genuine article and not a worked over and spruced up variation and this book is certainly no exception.A delight right through and many happy hours of browsing ahead.Thank you to the authors.

...mit sehr viel inspirierenden anregungen und beispielen anderer künstler. wenn man mal keine idee hat, einfach darin blättern und ideen sammeln. dafür ist es genau das richtige. außerdem ist es schön verarbeitet und sieht sehr stylisch aus.

I like typographie so much and this is really pretty

Il libro è esattamente come mi aspettavo: bozze e disegni di grandi calligrafi, type designer e grafici introdotti da una breve descrizione dell'artefice. Consiglio l'acquisto a tutti coloro che vogliono conoscere autori e personaggi importanti del mondo della calligrafia, lettering e typeface.

Maravilhosa fonte de inspiração pra quem ama tipografia e desenho de letras! Tenham este livro em sua biblioteca pessoal, recomendadíssimo!

I as a customer perfectly satisfied with product, right from the packing till the content in the book. And i personally suggest it for people who are interested in learning on art. thankyou
