I've wanted this book for so long. Grandpa was a sign painter and I grew up breathing paint fumes and watching signs go from sketches on envelopes to cardboard tempera mock ups to full sized huge signs. All done by one guy by hand. I still have many of the mock ups and photos of all the signs.
I was hoping for a little more her about technique, obstacles, art. But still great to see the breed is alive and still using paint.

Nice to flip through for typography nerds.

Not bad - interesting to see what people are creating across the US. Not a book I'd buy however...although I should since I'm a DIYer myself and I want to support my fellow DIYers...but it wasn't as good as I had hoped. More crafts, maybe some patterns. Maybe some more advice to get your stuff out there. But it was a neat book.
