www.letraset.com/uk for their UK e-store

No affiliation, but they do deliver OK! They do do white lettering too
(unlike staples)

Hi Matt,

We used to have a shop that sold all the letraset including lines and
curves etc but that closed down when the likes of Partners and Staples
opened shops.

>  I assume you mean the clever stuff thats a transfer of the letters

Exactly. Rub down lettering where if you werent careful the next letter
got rubbed down as well!

Wouldnt know about that being a sport hater!

Many moons ago when Maplin used to be a proper electronics component
supplier they used to sell specialised sheets of Letraset full of ready
made words like INPUT, OUTPUT, TAPE, DISC, VOLUME, BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE
etc which were perfect for making audio kit. The trouble with ordinary
letraset was they I only tended to use about 5% of the letters before
having to throw it away due to running out of essential letters.
Needless to say Maplin dont sell it anymore, in fact, seaching for
Letraset only finds a switch where the descriptions says "can be
labelled with letraset".

I always fancied a play with Gedakop http://www.megauk.com/gedakop.php
but never got round to it.
