Letter Art: Based on Alphabet Designs by Becky Higgins

Rating:
Summary: Good book, but some repetition of her last book
Review: I love Becky's book, "The Art of Creative Lettering: 50 Amazing Fonts You Can Make for Scrapbooks, Cards, Invitations, and Signs." I use it OFTEN and recommend it HIGHLY.

This book, "Letter Art," from the AmericanGirl Library imprint, is cute, and the illustrations and photos are good. But, there is huge overlap -- of the 12 fonts in this book, only one is new, and it is very similar to another one in her previous book.

So, while I admire Becky's work, I would say that the other book is a much better buy. The new book has a cute spiral-bound format, and comes with a few pieces of tracing paper in the back, but the other one is chocked-full of her cute letter designs as well as how-to's and suggestions/photos for their use. And 'though this new book may inspire a 'tween to doodle, etc. the larger book is certainly not too hard to use, (maybe with a bit of direction from Mom at the start).

Review: This book is great. I used it for cards, and it's fun playing with letters and making them look beautiful! The letters are not hard to make, and there is so much you can do with them!

Review: This is an EXCELLENT book. All the lettering styles are great, and really lovely to look at. The lettering would be good for a variety of projects: scrapbooking, fancy snail-mail letters or invitations. Even younger children can do some of the fancy designs with good results. I have not yet seen a nicer book for lettering. First-rate!

Review: Wow, this was a great book. I reccomend making a book or a greeting card with the lettering and snail mailing it to your friends. I did, and it was cool. If you've been subscribed to American Girl magazine, you'll have seen the letter art article taken from the book. Fabulous work, Becky!
