Does anyone know of a must have truck lettering or sign book out there that's a must have! If so I would like to know about it!! Lots of samples and colors and all that stuff that makes you queasy at the knees!

I got this book before I discovered the BB, but Dan is a frequent contributor here as well as in trade mags. This book is not strictly trucks, but includes many truck lettering designs & lots of valuable marketing commentary discussing why things are designed a certain way.

Ivan, if you can find an old copy of Chester Cunningham sign design notebook, it's a thin, soft cover book with plastic spiral binding. Published by Signs of the Times Pub. Co. / 1982 ISBN 0-911380-57-4....it's a treat. Trucks and signs, When he started being featured in SOTT, WOW, IT WAS FANTASTIC. Try ABEBOOKS IN THE INTERNET, they seem to have everything, used and inexpensive. Chester was so now, back in the day, his influence is everywhere now.

Mikey Languein has tons of signpainting books, but he doesn't post much anymore. I have an old E.C. Matthews book called The Lacquer System of Sign Painting that is awesome!
