Gold Leaf Techniques for the Sign Painter by Raymond J. LeBlanc. Published by The Signs of the Times Publishing Company, Cincinnati, OH: 1978 (3rd printing).
Softbound; B&W illustrations; 224 pages
“Raymound J. LeBlanc wrote the quintessential book on working with goldleaf of the time. With a few revisions to allow for updated materials, most of the techniques described in his first book are still being used today. This book would have been found in almost every sign kit of any gilder since that period. While there are some very interesting photographs of LeBlanc’s work in the book, the technical writing places it as a must have book.” -from signmuseum.com via The Wayback Machine
