Library Journal Review

This translation of the sixth edition of Schrift und Scrieben (Fachbuchverlag GmnH Keipzig, 1986) is not a how-to guide to calligraphy but rather a study of the anatomy of letters, typography, and the aesthetics of composition. While the author states that the introductory chapters are focused on the beginner, graphic arts students rather than hobbyists will appreciate the advice on the basic elements of design and the series of artistic exercises. Information for advanced students deals with the development of letters from Roman monumental capitals to 19th-century display styles. Full alphabets are supplied for more than 100 typefaces. For inspiration, numerous applications of type and lettering in the graphic arts, crafts, and architecture are provided. Recommended for specialized collections frequented by art professionals and students.-- Judith Yankielun Lind, Roseland Free P.L., N.J. (c) Copyright 2010.
