Photo-Lettering Inc. 1

Photo-Lettering Inc. 1 by Glen Mullaly.
Index title page from Photo-Lettering Inc.'s "Alphabet Thesaurus - A Treasury of Lettering Designs". 1960, Reinhold Publishing Corp., New York.

740 pages of classic lettering by the greatest designers ever.

When I first discovered this amazing bible of lettering in the early 90s at my local library I was blown away. In this one gigantic volume was all the greatest lettering I had ever seen. A must for anyone with a love for great typography.

I know of a few versions out there including this and a differently covered1960 first printing as well as 1965 and '70 printings. Copies, when they can be found, appear to go for anywhere from $100 - $300 each!

Ultrasparky has a number of photos of a different printing starting with this...

Latins/Animated is pretty cool, too.

Serif fonts don't get to get funky often...
