As a type designer

As a type designer, I found the Stenciletter: Dotted Journal With 4 Stencils surprisingly useful. The dotted grid gives enough structure for sketching letterforms while still feeling open and flexible, and the stencils are great for quickly testing modular shapes, spacing, and compositions.
What I appreciated most was how it encourages experimentation without everything needing to feel overly polished straight away. It works well for rough type concepts, pattern ideas, and even early grid systems. The quality of the paper and layout also make it enjoyable to use as an everyday design notebook rather than just a novelty item.
A really thoughtful tool for anyone interested in typography, lettering, or structured visual experimentation.

Excellent outlet for lots of books I’m interested in

Excellent outlet for lots of books I’m interested in. Fast despatch, no-nonsense - and Guy is obviously great at running it. A nice new twist on what used to be called the remainders market. Bravo!

Absolutely stellar service.

I stumbled upon Books About Art by complete happenstance and found three books that immediately found their way into my basket. Guy’s customer service was tremendous! There was a small hiccup with DHL’s delivery and Guy immediately rectified the hiccup without me ever having to contact DHL. I’m counting the days until my next paycheque and my next purchase. Absolutely stellar service.
