Type: A Visual History of Typefaces and Graphic Styles

 Another golden find from Book by its cover... This is a stunning book for all typeface and ornament enthusiasts... 325 pages of beautifully hand rendered detailing of typefaces, ornaments and styles dating up until 20th Century. As a cheeky bonus you also get an access card for a library of scanned fonts and images to use at your will. I'm adding it to my list... for one day soon I hope!!

Volume 2 is out soon too...covering 1900 to mid 20th century
