I consider this to be one of the best books for beginners. Lots of "how to's", lots of illustrations and wonderful calligraphic styles to learn. I especially appreciate spiral bound books. A must have book for any beginning calligraphy student!

This book is, by far, the best book termed for beginners. Written by two outstanding artists in the calligraphy world, it gives outstanding instruction and examples. The reason I purchased this book, after getting it from the library, was because it has so much information packed in a small book and most significantly all the specific tips and interline spacing suggestions. I like that it's spiral bound and can stay open on my slanted table.

I absolutely love this book! I am a beginner with Calligraphy and having so many alphabets available with the strokes for creating them is a real boon. I think having all the aphas in one place will help me to create my very own "style".

I bought this for my 11 year old daughter. She's been interested in learning calligraphy and this book will give her a great start. I recommend it!
