Gread Deal A great deal for the price. The nibs are of good quality, nice starter selection and the material included is some of the best that I have bought. I bought several fountain pens, dip pens and different inks to keep me busy during the long winter and this is probably the best purchase I made. Out of 4 different calligraphy sets that I have purchased in the past, this one is by far the best deal for the price. Enough material to keep me busy for a very long time.
Great introduction to the art of calligraphy This book and calligraphy tool set was a great start to my new interest in the art of calligraphy. I wish there were more font examples, but the book was a great value!
Received with empty tool tray Product received this date [01-AUG-2007]with white tool tray empty. My last straw with amazon.com -- Please cancel my account.
Has everything... Has everything you need to get started. The person who inspired me to get this was highly credentialed in calligraphic art and she was satisfied and approving when I explained to her the contents. The guides are visually explicit and make you want to get started right away. Highly recommended by me.
This is a Manuscript Manufacture i have recently found out about Manuscript Products for calligraphy. They are far more superior then anything you can find in the States. they are made in england and the nibs are of the highest quality while being priced very economically. I was very happy to see they were the manufacture behind readers digest, so i knew before even looking at the book i had a superior product.
And it is superior, anyone who likes calligraphy will love this. it is NOT a truly basic, but anyone who is not familiar will have no problems working on the kit. It is a whole calligraphy set. not just making Prettily letters with a flat nib.
