Happy Easter to you all,
On the subject of books, I have in my possession the following:
* Professional Ticket Writing. (1934)
*The Modern Signwriter. (1953)
*The Art and Craft of Signwriting.(1889)
*Signwritten Art. (1989)
and 2 books affiliated to our craft:
*Narrow Boat Painting.
*Paint Roses and Castles.
I'll be glad to pass on further details of any of these, if anyone needs
any info, some are still readily available.
Going to signwrite the names on my easter eggs now (only joking)
regards JK.

Hello to all you signwriters across the big pond
I've been painting and making signs since 1952
and I think I'm getting the hang of it now.

John,
I don't see Signwork on your list by Bill Stewart from your side of the pond. Ever look that one over? Has some useful information.
How about some pictures of your work? Since you've been painting since '52, you should have a couple of good pictures by now. If you don't have a place to upload, email the pictures to Mike or I and we'll post them.

Hello Danny,
I don't have the book Signwork but have read it, not bad.
I have quite a few photo's of work I've done,nothing digital, I would have to scan them and then e-mail them.
I'm an oldtimer (66) and although I have 3 puters 2 cameras and a
scanner still not fully conversant with them at the moment.
I will try and sort some pics out and send them to you-not sure how
they'll come out though.
regards john
