The Golden Secrets of Lettering: Letter Design from First Sketch to Final Artwork Hardcover – April 18, 2017

I am a hand lettering artist with no graphic design background or anything like that. I've only skimmed the pages of this book so far, and I can't put it down. There is so much information and inspiration...it's amazing. I have read a few other lettering books, and they just kind of explain their processes and tools. Which is awesome, but this book really shows the breakdown of EVERYTHING. It talks about all of the technical terms of a letter, spacing between letters, different styles, and the business side of freelance lettering as well!!! This is a top 3 lettering book on my list without a doubt.

If you are a lover of type or getting into hand lettering, this book is a great resource. I love the tone of it and have picked up a lot of useful tips. Martina Flor is a wonderful artist and I love open she is about teaching her craft to others.

Very great book on lettering , Autor gives examples of copy with lots of side notes which are super informative . If you want to design your own letters this is the book. Contains profanity.

This book did not disappoint. The author is thorough in her explanations and examples. I'm working my way through the book but so far, I find it extremely useful and beautiful!

Still reading the book but it seems to contain enough information to adequately get started hand lettering with an explanation of good process.

It’s more of a background of lettering compared to a calligraphy handbook. It helps you understand and learn how the written words progressed through the ages.

A lot of useful information and I do recommend this book to anyone and everyone.

This book is lovely and wonderful. I'm so happy that I bought it and highly recommend it to anyone interested in hand lettering or typography in general.
