Letraset: The DIY Typography Revolution / Available at www.draw-down.com / The first comprehensive history of #Letraset, the rubdown lettering system that revolutionized typographic expression. The book tells the Letraset story from its early days as a difficult-to-use wet system, to its glory years as the first truly democratic alternative to professional #typesetting. The book also looks at Letraset’s present-day revival among a new set of admirers who recognize the #typographic excellence of the system’s typefaces. A fold out timeline of Letraset history is included, along with many rare specimens from Letraset’s past—catalogues, press ads, mailers, storage units, and of course, sheets of classic Letraset typefaces.
