Speedball Textbook, 26th Edition (2026)

Number 26 is a treasure of old and new and out of the box! I love and so appreciate your inclusion of the great folks whose examples are forever excellent. The new letters springing from that solid footing are awe inspiring as well. Finally, the Gallery section puts all that magic together for inspiration. So well done #26 folks, you have outdone yourselves. Bravo!

The latest edition of this wonderful book and with the added bonus of the large edition having bigger exemplars and some additional goodies from some of the best calligraphers in the world. A must-buy if you're into calligraphy or lettering.

The best Speedball textbook yet: current hands; excellent examples; a joy to own.

This book is a must have for the lettering artist. Thoughtfully put together the book shows the work of lettering artists around the world. Exemplars of lettering are also included. I only bought the smaller edition but would definitely have liked the larger book. I believe this is the first time this edition is being offered. I also know that copies sell out quickly so if you want it you better get in an order it. I wanted it and so just humphed at the price of international postage and ordered anyway. Great. Edition!!!!! Thank you

I am calling this the Speedball Textbook “Bible”, it’s THAT thorough and well thought out. Carl Rohrs did a magnificent job of pulling together all styles and types of lettering from some of the best in the world, and turning it into a source for beginners as well as advanced lettering artists, and all those in between. This will be one of the top references for a long, long time. Congratulations to Speedball and Carl! Job well done.
