Books for inspiration

Post by Aaron Taylor »

Since it close to Christmas I thought I would pick up some new reference books for inspiration. I love to go though old books and get great ideas for anything I'm working on. I would like find some on Rawson and Evans and old glass signs as well as old hand lettering. I want to stock the shelves at the shop with good books for creative ideas.

Any good one out there you guys are fond of?

I guess looking in the Books sticky thread would help.

...My biggest influences (and all time favorites) have been the books by Chs. Strong, Frank Atkinson and Mike Stevens.
