Brilliant book! Good advice and a resource of suppliers and what kinds of nibs, ink and paper to get when you’re first starting out. She also has a FAQ at the back of the book to go to when having common problems. I highly recommend this book!

Love this book. Has lots of information and just what you need to get started with modern calligraphy. Has the ability to write directly in the book, making it more than just your how-to read but interactive in that you read and practice all in one.
