Las muestras de letras de imprenta han sido siempre un material de circulacioacute;n limitada y restringido baacute;sicamente a un aacute;mbito profesional. Se trata de aquellos impresos; libros u hojas sueltas; que contienen ejemplos de los caracteres que un grabador o fundidor; o un impresor; anuncian en vistas a una transaccioacute;n comercial determinada. A finales del siglo xix; los precursores en el estudio de la historia de los caracteres de imprenta consideraron la utilidad que las muestras de letras podiacute;an tener en el conocimiento del material tipograacute;fico y de la imprenta en general y; al mismo tiempo; iniciaron la tendencia coleccionista que permitioacute; preservar muchos de los ejemplares que se conservan en la actualidad. La relevancia concedida a estos impresos supuso una influencia decisiva en los meacute;todos de las nuevas generaciones de investigadores y estimuloacute; la aparicioacute;n de numerosas aportaciones posteriores que facilitaron la localizacioacute;n y reproduccioacute;n de muchas de las muestras y; gracias a ello; un maacute;s profundo conocimiento del origen y circulacioacute;n de los diversos disentilde;os de letras.Este impulso no se vio reflejado en los estudios histoacute;ricos del libro espantilde;ol y hasta ahora no se habiacute;a realizado ninguacute;n esfuerzo por estudiar y catalogar de forma sistemaacute;tica los especiacute;menes tipograacute;ficos impresos en Espantilde;a. El trabajo que aquiacute; se presenta subsana esta carencia y ofrece un panorama de la produccioacute;n y comercio de tipos en el periacute;odo de la imprenta manual; a la vez que proporciona una uacute;til herramienta de trabajo para que futuras investigaciones puedan continuar con la reconstruccioacute;n de la todaviacute;a desconocida historia de la tipografiacute;a espantilde;ola.

Excellent Resource for Aspiring Christian SongwritersBy John Chisum (@revchiz)As a long-time Christian music industry professional (and now a songwriting coach); Rob Sterlings book is simply the best all-around primer in the still viable world of Christian songwriting. Rob is extremely accomplished in his own career and has captured the most vital overview Ive found on this subject. I use it extensively in my own coaching courses and in working one-on-one with clients. Way to serve us all so beautifully; Rob!

Great overview!By CABAuthor speaks from first hand experience about songwriting but with specific regard to Christian songwriting. Would be an excellent read for anyone doing songwriting but even moreso in this regard. Author gives a great cursory glance of topics to include: lyrics; theory; music form; poetic form all with examples where they have been used. Excellent book and resource!!4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Encouragement Words from a Songwriter and ComposerBy LisaPersonally; as I read this book I have been encouraged by the humility of the author with all of His expertise. He is also informative in so many ways and he shares ways for anyone to become a songwriter if they begin to invest in the desires of their hearts. I believe that this book can help to inspire and unlock God given potentials in those who desire to write for the glory of God and to help others in their journey with Christ.
