A basic guide to lettering

1951
Second Printing
96pp
'Here in a concise form is a simplified method of learning how to letter.
It is devoted to the fundamentals of the art, concentrating on the difficulties that confront the beginner. From long experience, the author knows that a student cannot draw letters unless he understands their essential characteristics and features, consequently he has emphasised their basic forms, their construction, and their relative proportions.
The diagrams, alphabets, measurements, and suggestions presented in the book are as nearly correct as it is mathematically possible to indicate them.
Above all, the Guide represents the accumulated knowledge and skill of a man who has for years been both a successful commercial artist and a practical teacher.'
