Customer Reviews

Great for Beginners!

..gives great detail on the 'How To's' for the beginner. Lots of do's and don't's on the 'Art' of Calligraphy.

The BEST

This is truly the best book I have read on this subject. As someone trying to learn Calligraphy on her own, this is the only book that described everything I needed to know. After reading several other books on the subject, I was near giving up. For the beginner there is no other book needed.
