 Rating: - Extremely ThouroughThere are so many styles in this book. Many books that I have come across have just had the basic calligraphy for beginners, but this goes past that right into intermediate and even some extremely hard alphabets. I havent had to use any other books since I have aquired this one. It's the best out there thus far. Rating: - A Must for the CalligrapherThis is the one major item you need to have to be serious about calligraphy. The alphabets are the perfect size for copying or enlarging for illumination(in the old fashioned since, no copier here). The book has great instructions for writing the letters. A great buy! Rating: - Loads of PossibilitiesI teach calligraphy and was looking for something to keep my beginner students going once they'd completed the course. This book is it. It gives samples of a hundred different fonts as well as clear instructions on how to create the letters. The spiral binding was a real plus as it lays flat on the work surface. If I get the chance to teach a Level II in Calligraphy this would be a book I could recommend. Rating: - A wonderful toolThis is an excellent reference book for the beginner or advanced calligrapher. The spiral binding is a wonderful feature allowing the book to stay open while you practice. The pages are heavy duty and full color. The samples are beautiful and the history of writing is fascinating. Even though this book is available at my local library, I will probably purchase a copy for my everyday use at home. Rating: - Great!This is a great book for beginners. It has a great layout and is easy to understand.
