    FontBook

    This looks like a very useful book to have. Even with the best software applications for viewing and managing font libraries, I think it would be very useful to have such a book!

    If the book came with a cd with all the fonts listed, Id buy it. But a really useful reference none the less.

    linotype font catalogus is cheaper and bit lighter. Just 28,25 euro.

    How ever linotype gold edition is way to expesive with all font one cds. Costing 4499 euro.

    I saw there is a font explorer program you can download from linotype.com. Not sure how it work or if i should download it or not. Looks pretty handy if you got over 1000 of fonts.

    Pretty nice book. I'd love to have that just to use for inspiration in some of my designs. Thanks for the notice!

    I think I have/had a software called Fontlist or something like that and you could browse all the fonts and see how your text looks on them, I'm not sure if I still have it but if I find it and you're interested I could send it to you guys,

    Yours,
