Details: "Attract attention to any printed message with this practical cornucopia of ornate capitals. Compiled by noted typographer Dan X. Solo, this superb archive of more than 800 decorative initials covers an enormous range of sizes and styles. Ideal for immediate use in book and magazine illustration, on posters, diplomas, certificates, awards and other projects, these eye-catching initials encompass a variety of imaginative configurations. Here are letters surrounded by cherubs, mythical creatures and other quaint figures; enclosed by floral and foliated motifs, intertwining snakes, a Grecian maiden and more. Here also are letters of Gothic grandeur and delicate grace, of baroque complexity and subtle simplicity--altogether, a magnificent profusion of capital letters that will add flair to any graphic project." (from the back of the book)

ART NOUVEAU INITIALS
Details: "Characterized by long leafy tendrils, lush florals and graceful female figures, the curvilinear designs of Art Nouveau are especially well-suited to graphic arts, as revealed in this encyclopedic archive of over 900 copyright-free, ornamented letters. Selected by Carol Belanger Grafton from authentic turn-of-the-century sources, these ready-to-use initials are rendered in an astonishing array of sizes and styles: entwined in lush thickets of flowers and leafy vines; ensconced in elaborate interlacings; adorned by stylized birds, insects and animals; amid urban and rural scenes; embellished by heads and figures of men, women, and children, and in many other attention-getting formats. Designers in need of imaginative initials reflecting the style, ambience and flair of Art Nouveau will find this splendid treasury indispensable for enhancing advertisements, newsletters, brochures, programs--almost any graphic project."

About Us:
Rivendell Antiquarian Books sells used rare, vintage and collectable books predominantly from pre 1970. We have been sellers of antiquarian books for over 20 years, and our experience helps ensure quality descriptions of our rare and collectable books. Be assured that we want your experience with Rivendell Antiquarian Books to be enjoyable and problem free.
We believe that it is a travesty to simply throw away a used book when there is little or nothing wrong with it - we believe in giving each book the chance of finding a new home. We appreciate the impact a good book can have. We know the excitement of a new page turner, or the familiar joy of an old favorite, and we find satisfaction in putting older, and often scarce books in the hands of people who have the same love for old books that we do.
Customer Service:
Rivendell Antiquarian Books is committed to ensuring each customer is entirely satisfied with their puchase and our service. If you have any issues or concerns please contact us and we will be more than happy to help.
Our books have been inspected carefully by hand by experienced book valuers to ensure the condition description is as accurate as possible for this exact copy pictured. If you have questions about the book before or after purchasing, please feel free to contact us!
Packaging:
We take pride in packaging our books for safe delivery, and if you check our feedback, you will see this reflected in the comments of many pleased customers. For nearly all of our books, we use a specially designed boxing system from IPS (Inovative Packaging Solutions) located in York, PA. These media shipping boxes are designed to conform to the size of the book, securing it and preventing it from bumping around during shipping. The end result is a box which provides a double thickness of cardboard covering the front and back of the book; actually almost like a box within a box. The outer layer of cardboard extends beyond the ends of the inner "box" which very efficiently protects the corners of the book from being bumped and damaged by the sometimes rough handling packages receive in transit. In addition we place the book in a plastic bag to help guard against moisture if a package is left out in the elements.
