While traveling on a job to Atlantic City I had the pleasure of finding a book store that had quite a selection of old sign books.I picked out about 15 that I wanted and bought 5 that I could afford ( 25.00 to 150.00.I talked to the owner about the "sign book list" and if you e-mail them they will e-mail the list to you.The books include lay outs,typefonts,glass work, varnish and paint books.Their priced from about 40.00 to 1100.00 (that one is from 1889)
