    1. I like the concept of the book
      But I DO DISlike the fact that omits all information regarding each-one of the typefaces in the book (not a name on it).

    2. Maria are you sure? There has to be some kind of indication of what each typeface is.

    3. Great initiative! Just ordered. Thanks for the mention.

    4. Antonio,
      I asked the designer –James West– yesterday via email, and he said the book does not have that type/name/foundry information. He mention “personal” preferences for that,He said –out of the record-: “I didn’t want it to end up looking like a type specimen book, but instead more of a visual representation of what is liked type-wise rather than just a list.”

      He was very kind and of course respecting his awesome initiative is always first in my opinion.

      But yeah, I had to express my dissent in regards to this “solution”.

    5. PS: I ordered 2 books regardless, which probably will have some hand written research on the bak of each page.

    6. Maria, I agree that it would have been better to include the name of the face and the foundry but I bought two copies as well since it’s a great initiative.

    7. Dear Antonio,
      SO I got the book today (after a couple of months).
      I was wondering if you would leave some sort of entry in your blog dedicated to finding this book’s showcased typefaces. A mini blog?
      Let’s unite to make this book useful on the user end.
      Thanks,
      M

    8. Maria, I still haven’t received mine, thanks for reminding me. But I can definitely set up a list and we can populate it as we find the faces. Since you have the book already do you ming putting together a list of the designers in the book and emailing it to me? That way I can get started with formating the list.

    9. Will Do, Thanks!

    10. Maria, thanks. I sent James an email to make sure he’s cool with us doing this. Hopefully it gets some attention and James ends up selling more books. It would also be a nice resource for designers.

      Has anyone in the States received their copy of the book yet? I only ask because it’s been several months since I paid for mine and my mailbox is getting kinda lonely. :^(

    12. Dan, I received mine last week.

    13. Dan

      Thanks. I sent them an email last night. Hopefully I’ll get a response. I’m brimming with excited anticipation over receiving the book!

    14. Tom

      Does anyone know if a list of all the typefaces has been put together anywhere yet?
