Indie Fonts
The big dogs like Adobe, Font Bureau, Font Shop International, and Emigre have enough marketing muscle to promote their typefaces to art directors the world over, but what about the small, independent foundries? Type foundry Fountain, which recently redesigned their web site, has published the handy Indie Fonts book, featuring over 400 pages, 18 foundries, and 2000 font samples for a reasonable fee. Also includes a visual font index in the front for quick reference.
Comments
The creation of this volume marks an important point in the history of digital type. A full review is coming soon at Typographica. It’s actually published by the folks at P22. Fountain (like the foundries represented in the catalog) is licensed to sell the book from their own site.

I picked up the book a few weeks ago from Don at Synfonts . Its a great book, really well put together. I'm not much of a font person but its so neat to flip through, it was a must have.
