An Introduction to Hand Lettering with Decorative Elements by Annika Sauerborn is an amazing book for any lettering enthusiast of any level. The amount of hard work that has gone into its making is evident with the number of hand-drawn illustrations that are in the book. And the explanations that go along with them are so useful. It's evident from the very beginning that the author is such a seasoned expert. I don't think one has to look further for any more inspiration to create hand-lettered projects. Thank you Annika for such an awesome creation.
