_ 1934 Book of American Types ( Standard Faces ) : American Type Founders //
* recently found a 1934 edition of “Book of American Types ( Standard Faces ) : aAmerican Type Founders” in a used bookstore – from the preface : “during the last decade there has been a period of experimental effort in typography the influence of which at times has carried us a long way from the traditional past. older rigid notions of classifications limiting a type face to certain definite kinds of use have been largely discarded. script types that once were confined to stationery and society printing are now appearing even in newspaper advertisements in daring association with bold-face letters.” //

_ 1958 Lettering ( A Guide for Teachers ) by John W. Cataldo //
* recently discovered “lettering ( a guide for teachers )” from 1958 in a used bookstore along with a couple other type books – from the foreword : “because basic letter forms are more-or-less fixed by precedent and tradition, one could rationalize that there is little opportunity in lettering for aesthetic expression and personal interpretation. yet, a study of the work of our best calligraphers and type designers gives us ample evidence that there is considerable area of prerogative where the artist may leave the stamp of his own personality and purpose” _D.
