I have the black letter press version, which is a fantastic object. It is a very interesting read, and the collection of alphabets is vast. The quantity and variety of the alphabets is amazing and engrossing.

It is a book written in a different time though, which is displayed in spades in the author’s intro and in his commentary throughout. The publisher has a much better discussion on this topic in their intro.

What a wonderful and fun little book. I have the Black Letter Press edition which is very nice indeed and I pick it up to peruse regularly, and even find useful every now and then
