(Introduction) 'Existing books on lettering usually divide themselves into two categories: a collection of type faces that can often be found in a type specimen book, or letter forms designed by various artists for advertising. One of the constantly frustrating aspects of typefounders' specimens is that they rarely show complete alphabets, while books containing examples of advertising lettering also have their disadvantages. Few letter forms as conceived by the advertising lettering artist are better than similar designs available amongst existing type faces, and original lettering by these artists is normally confined to two or three words for a particular project or advertisement. As this is not intended to have lasting value, no complete alphabet is designed.'
