The Doorbells of Florence

Picture 9This is one of those books that seems to have it all. Images of beautiful decay (doorbells from Florence), stunning hand-written captions and imagined stories of people who would answer if the author, Andrew Losowsky rang the bell.

Update: Hand-written font by Joel Holland. And it can be ordered through here (Thanks Andrew!).

Nice book. I LOVE THE FONT (in red).
Does anyone know what it is?

what a perfect idea for a book— and imagining the person behind the doorbell hardware strikes me as so romantic.

Nice post! The link should be www.chroniclebooks.com, though!

Thanks Jan! Glad you like the look of it - we're really pleased how it came out. It's out in a few weeks, and can be ordered from Amazon.com here.

The typography is actually all handdrawn by the talented hand of Joel Holland.

I hope you find the finished product as delightful! (We think you might :) )
