HOW COOOL!!! Definitely bookmarking this page!

Hi Jill! That is a gorgeous cover! I love, love that "old-style" lettering! :-) Paula (hightop)

Thank you for the suggestions for trying to figure out when the book was published! I haven't found the ISBN number, either. Guess I'll have to get more creative. (Wait, is that a bad pun?)

Hi everyone! I am definitely enjoying reading the posts on this site! Some funny stuff and LOTS to learn from! I have posted some pictures of an on Speedball text book that belonged to my grandfather. Priceless to me and interesting to many of you, I hope. They are on the thread called Hi...

Hi! :-)

Hi from NC!

Hi Fitch, Thanks for the welcome! And, thanks for verifying that Grandpa's book is valuable. It has always been special to me just because it was his. I suspect I wore the cover off when I was younger trying to draw the letters in the book. I will treasure it even more, now! :smile:

John - I will have to look up Mr. Winstead. That kind of history interests me, too! Thanks!

B-Rad: Grandpa was a great artist! I was in my early teens and I wish I had understood then what a gift he was and paid more attention. I still have his old lettering books. Treasures! Stealth: Thank you for taking the cold weather with you! My family in Texas would really appreciate if...

Wow, a bunch of early birds here! Thanks for the welcomes! Bobby - I know where Apex is. It's a very nice place. I'm about an hour from there.

Thanks :-)
