Promising review: "I'm not new to the genius and joys of typography but I am to gaming, and this is the perfect marriage of the two and a great learning experience. The typeface renderings and artwork are thoughtful and magnificent; I find I get entranced by the graphics. The histories of type are explained well and I would highly recommend this game to any type geeks who want a little gaming action with their fonts." —Andi856

Promising review (for Sakura pens): "These are archival-quality pens. They don't smear (which is awesome, especially since I am a lefty!!) and last a really long time before they run out of ink. I can go on and on about Microns — I've used them for years for my pen and ink artwork." —Danielle J. Scott

Promising review: "I love these notebooks for practicing hand-lettering. The dots are enough of a guide for straight lines but still lets my work have a clean look. It's a great compromise between a blank and lined notebook. I can also write journal entries or sketch." —Jackie

Promising review: "I think what really works for me here is the curation effort that is put into the boxes and the exposure to new and interesting products, like the April delivery was about recycled and sustainable writing products. As a lover of all things paper and pen, I'm looking for items I would not have encountered otherwise. The May delivery made my heart sing a bit more — two delightful pens to try, a leather-bound journal, and a set of two slim, lined notebooks. I think the value is outstanding especially when the curation efforts are considered." —Christin

Promising review: "This is a fascinating read about a topic that is entirely pervasive yet so often unnoticed in our culture. Though the author freely admits his hardcore enthusiasm for type, he does not present information in a way that discourages someone new to the subject from jumping right in. He has definite personal tastes, ones that you may disagree or concur with without losing too much stake in the overall book. Overall a nice mix of history and contemporary views blended with humor and a clear love for the topic." —joliefille

Promising review: "As a lover of type and a fan of Louise Fili and Milton Glaser, I fell in love with this book. As a young artist in-the-making I was able to learn so much more about other well-known artists/typographers. It is inspiring by just flipping through its pages alone; it's a keeper." —Rachel Ramsey

Promising review: "Steven Heller and Gail Anderson have put together another great inspirational guide (first edition here) to help end creative blocks or bolster conceptual thinking; it’s also full of brilliant examples demonstrating the power and diversity of typography in action. Rather than wall-to-wall imagery à la Pinterest, this book constructively explains basic graphic design precepts and history in a way that sticks." —N. Wu
