[Gabriel · Rating 4 out of 5]

One of the only comprehensive guides to Hebrew calligraphy.

[Mitchell · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great step-by-step guide for learning Hebrew calligraphy. It takes you through the entire process, from selecting equipment, to preparing and displaying the document, to the actual calligraphy itself. The book could use a new edition, as some of the products and brands mentioned here are no longer available. Other than that, this book is invaluable if you are taking on a Hebrew calligraphy project.
