Customer Reviews: Gothic and Old English Alphabets:100 Complete Fonts January 7, 2009 Floyd K. Allen (Germany) The book is pretty good if you're an experienced calligrapher. I've been working at the art as a hobby for about 30 years. I would not recommend this publication for a beginner. On the other hand, I have recommended the book to friends of mine.
Great Font book! July 3, 2008 Janet Liston 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is the most popular font book I have for my customers. As a tattooist, finding fonts that are interesting but still legible is very important. This book is a great tattoo resource for anyone who makes their own stencils from scratch. The customers love the fonts and they're very clean and easy to trace/copy. Dover makes a few of these books, and I have five of them in total, but this one is the most popular with my customers.
A must purchase for every tatto parlor December 22, 2006 C. Wagner (On the banks of the Wabash far away) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
You think I'm kidding, but I am not. I do not know how many times I have searched the calligraphy books for "Old English" for proletariats who wished just the correct typography to permanently stain some dopey word to their body, apparently to guarantee a lifetime of minimum wage employment. This is just what they are looking for. 100 pages of fonts, one of which is guaranteed to meet the victim's expectations. So, you do not need to be a calligrapher to buy this book. A tattoo parlor or even a public library will find this book indispensible. I'm not kidding.
