Last week in Lisbon I came across this little french lettering book for stitching.
I know there is quite some books out there on this matter. On of the most awesome ones I saw was actually presented to me by Erik van Blokland during a class in Type and Media, which I found a
PDF online.
Does anyones know of some other nice books out there on this matter?
Thank you very much in advance.

Is the article you point to in German only, or bilingual?
I have to finally pick up on my German, I am pretty good at Spanish now, so that cannot be an excuse anymore
Also I will share a small treasure, that was given to me by my mother in law and that sparked this interest for me.
You mean the “Letterlap” essay? I just checked and it looks like it’s German only, sorry.
For literature and especially also specimens themselves I think there is still a lot of “hidden” material to be found in local/specific contexts… probably lots to be rediscovered in the strange crafty corners of strange used bookshops in all corners of the world.
