Review #1: A bit of a disappointment





Review #1

A bit of a disappointment

This book claims to contain 15 complete alphabets. The problem is that most contain only capital letters, there is only one lower case alphabet that contains all 26 letters, and it doesn't match any of the uppercase alphabets. Many of the alphabets are incomplete, skipping over several commonly used letters. There is only one set that contains matching numbers. There are a few pages of letters paired as initials, which is fine if you're initials happen to be BD or XL, or whatever letters they decided to throw together. I really only found the last five pages to be of any use, they contain various intricate ornaments in art deco style, and are beautifully rendered. All of the designs in this book are black and white.
