birminghambetsy: Recently I just decided that I was sick of my handwriting and it was time to change it. I've been working on it for about 2 weeks from YouTube videos, but I wanted a book so I could trace the letterings. This book is PERFECT! It arrived within 3 days and it was in perfect condition. I have tracing paper, so I'm just going through each page to get a feel for the way the letters to my name flow. I usually sign with my initials, so that's what I'm looking at in particular. I am having such a great time just tracing the pages. It's very calming. I love having all these different fonts! I wish that I could have done this as a child. I wish I had done this with my child. Thank you for a great book!

April Spiller: I bought this for myself, but as soon as my niece saw it, she claimed it, and I bought another one. Great for practice and creativity.

Landfish: I'm doing gunstock work, knife making, and wood carving in general. I have a complete collection of books filled with illustrations of animals, mythical creatures, weapons and etc. I wanted a complete book of letters worthy of carving. I ordered 4 different ones and this arrived first. I knew at first look I had wasted my money on the others. This has 100 complete alphabets in upper & lower form with matching numbers. For a craftspeople I'm confident this is what you need. There are many tasteful and lovely forms within.

CAJGMM: Es un libro muy directo y sólo muestra distintos tipos de letra para tomarlos para nuestra forma de escribir en distintos proyectos o para inspirarse y desarrollar nuevos tipos de letras. En lo particular, me ha gustado y lo considero útil. El precio me parece justo y es por ellos que le he dado las cinco estrellas.

Alison: Had a very special birthday banners to do. This book saved me. I just wish that there were more than the '100' to choose from, but hey-ho, just being greedy! Good book!
