Aside from the various society publications, are there any good magazines about lettering and calligraphy?

Letter Arts Review, available through

www.johnnealbooks.com

I will bring some for the ride up to Buffalo if you want.

Michael,
John was at the last Type Con that I went to in Boston. It might be worth asking him if he’ll be there. After all, there are 3 calligraphy teachers doing classes ( can’t imagine who the other 2 are?? ). Not like the calligraphy conference, but he carries a lot of type related books and such.

Have not talked to John since he ordered some more of my books a couple of weeks ago. That is going to pay for my trip! Tried to call you today, font looks good buddy!

Letter Arts Review is pretty dang cool. You might want to see if any libraries carry it & if you are keen enough go ahead and start taking it.

Thanks.
Are you talking about Memoir (just recently released)? or did you see the not yet done Montague on this page:
http://www.typophile.com/node/46452

I named that after the town I lived in in Massachusetts before I started working for that design assembly line in Ohio. Hopefully in the next year I will move back and join the gainfully under-employed.

It will be fun seeing you at Typecon.

Michael, you bring those and I’ll bring my facsimile of the Theatrum Artis Scribendi.
