@railair @gerryleonidas Thank you, I will indeed request a refund if required. In the meantime, if I may, I urge you to revise your new website to provide clear and complete information about the "flexi-book" add-on.

[Eric Kindel @ekindel]

@railair @gerryleonidas AFAIK, your new website says nothing about this accommodation of late arrivals, nor that the "flexi-book" add-on is the means to enable this accommodation of a late arrival on the day booked. Unaware of this, I purchased return tickets without the add-on.

@Jasonforrestftw Thank you for drawing attention to this. For the most recent treatment of Isotype work in West Africa, see also this article published in 2022: https://t.co/HaC5bxX7hu

@Lett_Arc Very happy to help – good to know about these. For anyone with 20 minutes to spare, some additional information here: https://t.co/kXD7V1RC3W

@mrconstan @GuyWithTheBooks Handsome work. Any title page details?

[Eric Kindel @ekindel]

@JimenesRemi @ampersanden Thank you for the link: attractive and unusual early example in your study. And if I may, here are more sources, which may be of help to scholars: https://t.co/YphPyAT3Bg

@JillEGage A bit more about the 1936 catalogue, here: https://t.co/7cYLnRJDsJ

@fpeulrich @Mikeashworth12 @UniRdg_Typo The article by Nicholas Drew (i.e. Robert Harling) on ‘Stencilled letter-forms’ may be the earliest such English-language survey, predating R. S. Hutchings (‘Stencil types’, 1958). Harling’s likely involvement in SB’s ‘Tea-Chest’ connects nicely with the Alphabet and Image cover.

@adamob82 Learning from Las Vegas (Venturi, Scott Brown, Izenour, 1972) is the usual place to start. Signs: lettering in the environment (Baines and Dixon, 2003) is also valuable and has a concise bibliography. Much else thereafter!

[Eric Kindel @ekindel]

@ampersanden Yes, superb sample book from Chevalier et Cie, c. 1860s. Answers many questions and raises many more. First learned of this from the intrepid @panefarre. As always, thanks to @BibParis for their digitisation.

@hyphenpress … and a fine evening it was.

@verbosus @bmnpatrimoine @ANRT_type @FredSmeijers Yes, quite possibly. Perhaps @bmnpatrimoine can post an enlargement …

@opto Yes, I remember it well (I think it was just after Lisbon), and your kind gift of 'iconography', for which I have been grateful ever since. The book plays an important role in the article of 2013 https://t.co/Qf15o96kFd. @FredSmeijers cut the stencils for us to recreate p. 87.
