Designed as a clear, foundational course, this book sets out the essentials of script lettering, from building the script letter to putting it to practical use. Thompson, described as a noted authority, offers straightforward instruction alongside guidance across many aspects of the craft.

Techniques associated with celebrated penmen and engravers including Bickham, Tompkins and Cocker are demonstrated, and the book also shows examples of script work used in advertising and packaging. Coverage includes tools, materials and a range of letter styles, presented as an unabridged corrected reprint of the revised 1955 edition (previously titled The Script Letter), making it a focused resource for students of the craft and commercial artists.
