Far and away the most popular, most authoritative book in the field, this little volume takes the reader through every stage in the study of Italic handwriting and calligraphy. Separate sections on Roman capitals as well as page and book design make this a complete course.
Great book. The way to go if you want to learn italic calligraphy and handwritting or general concepts on calligraphy and book design. There is a TV program on YouTube by Lloyd Reynolds, which is the perfect companion for the book. It boosts your creativity!
Well written. A helpful guide to learning this now almost forgotten art. I learned lettering in high school so this was a refresher for me. The exercises helped me retrain my hand with some of the finer qualities of letterin.
