"A Book of Lettering" 1952 by Reynolds Stone

Note from book introduction:

"The following pages are intended as a simple guide tot he practice and appreciation of decent letter forms. Letters are put to such a variety of uses that there can be no hard and fast rules as to what constitutes 'good lettering'. But y common consent it may be said that a right use of the tool employed will produce beautiful forms, when once the use of the tool employed will produce beautiful forms, when once the essential shapes and proportions have been grasped. Unless frankly ornamental, or in cases where legibility is unimportant, letters should be straightforward and unobtrusive. They should look easy."

This book would make a wonderful gift for a design or calligraphy lover.
