Of the many books on calligraphy that Ive purchased; this one had the most useful; everyday ideas for simple calligraphy. I love that they outline every letter in numbered pen strokes and show how to turn the pen as you make each one. Its a wonderful resource for self-teaching if you dont have someone to instruct you privately. I have recommended it many times to friends who were looking for a calligraphy resource of their own.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
