    A welcome book for typophiles!

    This is a gorgeous reference book that highlights amazing type, logos and motifs from the ornate design era of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

    The additional cd-rom is fantastic as well and will prove useful for years.

    I highly recommend it!

    Fantastic!

    This is a must-have for designers who drool over vintage type from years 1896-1936. Very good quality, and the included CD-ROM gives PDFs of every single page!
