Calligraphic Lettering

Rating:
Summary: The Ultimate Learning Reference
Review: The lovely, hand-lettered text of this book distinguishes it even before you get to the wonderful, clear alphabet studies. Its spiral binding makes it very easy to refer to pages while working; and for some reason, other calligraphy texts haven't figured that out.
I do calligraphy as an amateur (literally, for the love of it) as well as for pay. I am not a teacher by profession; but whenever I teach a calligraphy class, this is my prime reference book.
Recently I thought I had lost my copy, and that is when I realized how much I depend on this book. It is The Best.
If you are going to own only one calligraphy guide, this is the one!
