Book Suggestions

Post by Frank Miller »

I need some help picking out the right books.

1.) I am looking for a book or books on sign painting that covers things like paint consistency for proper flow, how to prep surfaces, finishing exterior signs in addition to layout and lettering.

2.) Also looking for a book that covers the basics of gold leafing on glass and other surfaces.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I had this book for 30 years before someone jacked it. It was like a bible to me.
