This is a well designed type specimen book displaying samples of type that was available from V&M Typographic in the 1970s. The displays are of their metal type library and should prove helpful to anyone interested in the selection of type from large typographers at that time.

This book is excellent for hand lettering practice. I scanned the fonts I wanted to trace for practice.
