3 out of 5 stars A good book for examples

This book is exactly what it says. I would not have bought this book if it wasn't required for a class. For one, it is just a list of fonts on every page with different point size examples. Two, it will not help you with typography in any way. I prefer to make my own style books based on the fonts that I own. It is frustrating to look at fonts in a book that has fonts that I do not. The best thing about this book is the fact that it is what it is, a font style book. I will probably never open it again and will probably just use it to buy time with a client that doesn't know what kind of typeface they want.

5 out of 5 stars Ultimate & Handy Reference for any serious font user

Any serious font user should have this book. Even you do not own the font, show it to your client and then buy when you need it.

4 out of 5 stars Great Reference!

This book is everything that I expected it to be. It sits on my desk and gets pulled out everytime I'm working on a project. Great investment.

5 out of 5 stars Full of basic and detail information in this book

I love this reference book!
It helps designers to choose a better typeface in an efficient way. Over 2,000 gorgeous fonts are arranged very well. Thanks for the make-up, paper and book-binding, you can browse these fonts pleasantly.
Basic OpenType introductions are included in English, French and German. Small icon shows glyph supported indicates the range of using of each typeface.
If you were a font afficionado, you would not miss it!

5 out of 5 stars Perfect for our needs

Provided a nicely printed display of the fonts in fontfolio 10. Helps with clients choosing fonts they would like to use in thier designs as expected. Would have been nice to have in a hard cover since it is used a lot.
