I got the first edition some years ago. Does anyone know if the second edition is worth buying as well? It is supposed to contain lots more stuff.

The second edition presents the complete character sets of 333 blackletter fonts (80 of them newly added), plus Fraktur typesetting rules by Friedrich Forssman. Judith put quite a lot of work into the new edition. It’s so fresh – it even contains a few faces made with FontStruct, which opened its doors only this April!

Thanks, Florian! I just ordered the new edition.

My review of the 2nd edition is out on Typographica.

If you like the topic, then Albert Kapr's 'Fraktur' is also very good.
