Don Schlitten was a fond user of Benguiat Interlock, and specified it for a number of albums, including the second of three volumes of Eric Dolphy in Europe. Dolphy, the jazz multi-instrumentalist from Los Angeles who played with Charles Mingus, John Coltrane and others, recorded it in September 1961 in Copenhagen, Denmark. The album wasn’t released until 1965, one year after Dolphy had died in West Berlin, probably due to undiagnosed diabetes.

LondonJazzCollector comments:

The cover is […] a beauty, with classic laminate and a superb picture of Dolphy smoking a pipe. How very bohemian and utterly against today’s Health and Safety culture. But since Dolphy was dead by the age of only 36, that hardly seems to matter. Guess the pension plan turned out a poor investment.

Florian, can you upload Benguiat Interlock and Newlock font glyph sets. Please

John, I’m not generally opposed. I might do so when I find time for it (because making scans and editing, uploading, and annotating them takes time). But it will definitely take a while, and I’m not making any promises.

I just met a scanning request of yours the other day, and today there are three more, including this one. I don’t know you, and you didn’t tell me why you need these glyph sets. Please see my response to Aline from last month:

I make scans of type specimens all the time, and the people who request them usually tell me why they need them, and offer something in return for my time and effort. Some send me scans of material that I don’t have, others share the digital fonts they created using the scans, and yet again others prefer to wire a few bucks so that I can buy me a coffee (BTW, Letterform Archive’s digitization services start at $20 per order).

The least I expect is an expression of gratitude. For the Mason scan, there hasn’t been a “thank you”, neither here or over on Flickr. Just more requests […] To which I say: no, thanks! I’ll rather do something else with my time. :)

If you don’t want to wait, maybe you can locate a copy of the Alphabet Thesaurus Vol. 2 in a library near you, and do the scans yourself?

OK! Florian, but I’m sorry, I can’t scan book, because I’m from Taiwan or Kaohsiung, I can’t buy or read Photo-Lettering Alphabet Thesaurus vol. 2 book, also. Please scan full glyph set.
