5.0 out of 5 stars Calligraphy in the Copperplate Style, May 26, 2000
This review is from: Calligraphy in the Copperplate Style (Lettering, Calligraphy, Typography) (Paperback)
This is a fabulous manual for beginners, explaining the 17th century calligraphy technique which imitates copper etchings of the same, using a fine nib. A great buy with nice detail.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction book for learning and teaching Copperplate, February 16, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Calligraphy in the Copperplate Style (Lettering, Calligraphy, Typography) (Paperback)
I first gave this book 5 stars but I decided to give it 4 stars because the best book to learn Copperplate from is "The Zanerian Manual" which is a much bigger book. Also, there are lessons online from IAMPETH website and videos (view my other reviews for details) that will teach you Copperplate. I do recommend this book for teaching and learning Copperplate and it has great guidelines to copy if you don't want to draw your own guidelines in the beginning.

This review is from: Calligraphy in the Copperplate Style (Lettering, Calligraphy, Typography) (Paperback)
As A New Student and Enthusiast Of the Copperplate Style, I was told this was a (Must Have) Reference. In a class of 25 students, Most with 5 to 15 years experience, Everyone had this book. My only disappointment and let down was that it was part of the New (Green) way of thinking. it was printed with Recycled Material which i am very much against when purchasing a Fine , keep and use for years book. The Price was great and I did buy 2 books, one to use and one to share and May buy another to give to a close friend.
