Great Book I had this book years ago and lent it to someone who did not return it and just recently got another via Amazon. I was so happy it was still in print, I missed this book. This book is not for a beginner but don't despair the author has a beginner book that is excellent "Calligraphy Made Easy". If you are looking for the next step up from beginner this is the book to own.
Not that easy I found the layout really confusing. Also if you are a beginner I would say this is not for you. It doesn't contain much "instruction." I would suggest "The Calligrapher's Bible" instead.
Not a beginner's book I'm trying to teach myself this beautiful art. This book is certainly not for the beginner. The concept of a new alphabet each week and weekly projects is a great one, however there isn't enough instruction on materials or form to make it very helpful to those of us new to this art. I'll keep it for reference but must continue my search for a great teaching tool.
My Least Favorite Book on Calligraphy I was given 3 books on Calligraphy, as a Christmas present from my daughter, and this book is at the bottom of the list.
It does contain many different fonts, and the idea of having a practice lesson every week for a year is a novel idea indeed. However, I found this book disorganized, and try to do the lessons with one arm trying to hold the book flat.
Wonderful book This book is more complete than I expected and it is written in such a way that you are eager at trying your hand at the next alpahbet. Great for the person who already knows how to handle the pens.
