​My Review

The publisher was kind enough to provide me with a copy of this book to review. All opinions are my own and honest.

I must admit I was very disappointed in this book. I thought it would provide more information about how to do different hand letting but really it is more geared towards just providing examples and inspiration. I am a beginner and had no clue where to start with many of the designs. I thought this book would give better step-by-step instructions but there are only a few times that they do. This book would be fine for those with experience that are in need of ideas but it doesn't work well for beginners.
