Thats a rad book! Ever checked out Frank Atkinson's work before? When I started in the sign trade in 98 I read everything I could find of his...absolutely amazing! Wish I could get my lettering brushes out more than I do.
Im looking for this book....Im not sure if this is a city thing, or national, but our Planned Parenthood puts on a used book sale. Twice a year. Most of the books get picked over rather quick from the 'Pros', but the art books are always overwhelming in numbers. I have found alot of Typography books over the last 15+ years going to these things..I would guess by the amount of people that show up for these, you would have one in a surrounding city...If so, check it out. Killer old stuff for cheap. I usually take 50-100 bucks and walk out with 3 boxes plus. Cheers!
