American Metal Typefaces of the Twentieth Century

Rating:
Summary: "THE" indispensable reference for the subject
Review: Mac McGrew has comiled an amazingly complete sample book of very nearly every metal typeface made in the United States in the 20th century, which number in the thousands. The addition of additional notes and tidbits makes it more entertaining, but primarily this is an encyclopedic reference, showing each typeface, with information on designer, foundry, history of the face, and cross-references to closely related faces. Highly recommended
