Hi everyone,
This is Michael Ackerson. I have worked at
JNB (John Neal Books) for about 15 years and thoroughly enjoy my job. Yes, there is a real man named John Neal. He does care about the lettering community and we do publish magazines and books on lettering (see below for the entire list!).
JNB is happy to support the community, for without you, we would not be in business!
I would be pleased to work with anyone on lowering shipping costs to overseas countries. Please email me at
Michael at johnnealbooks dot com with a list of the items you want to order. I will do my best to lower the costs as best possible.
Magazines that we publish:
Letter Arts Review
Bound & Lettered
If you would like a *free* sample of either magazine, please email me!
Books that we have published:
Foundations of Calligraphy by Sheila Waters
SCRIBE by John Stevens
Happy Lettering with the Right Tools by Marika Koskimäki-Ketelä
Lively Brush (with DVD) by Eliza Holliday and Marilyn Reaves
Calligraphia by Barbara Calzolari (not yet published, English version)
Historical Scripts by Stan Knight
We are now offering free media mail shipping on any of the books listed above (to USA addresses). I am pleased to offer $5 shipping to overseas customers via ISAL (surface) shipping. Please email me if you would like to order.
My apologies for the long post, thanks for listening
Cheers, Michael
