Art of Calligraphy

Customer Reviews

one of the best to learn from - By: elaine, 20 Dec 2006
I bought this book when i already had been doing callligraphy for many years. I wish I had found it at the very beginning. It has very clear illustrations that show, by transparencies indicating the sequences of pen strokes, how to build each letter. I taught several people callligraphy using this book, & it was the best for its clarity of presentation.
Moreover, it is a beautiful book to look at, the selection of fonts is particularly nice, & the presentation of the letters doesn't appear to be touched up with a computer after having been done, so that the they look real, something possible for a beginner to actuallly aim at copying.
I would recommend it as a first book in callligraphy. There are not too many fonts, & they're well-described & attractive. It was also reallly useful to me, as a more advanced, but not expert, callligrapher.
