Shadow Type by Steven Heller

Drawn from a particularly rich period in the history of shadow type, from the 19th to the mid-20th century, this book features a compilation of popular, rare and forgotten three-dimensional letters from Germany, France, Britain, Italy and the United States, where the best examples were produced.
'With examples numbering in the 300s, spanning the 19th to the mid-twentieth century, this is a sourcebook for those inspired by vintage graphics' - Crafts
