5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating!, March 15, 2008
This review is from: The Universal Penman (Lettering, Calligraphy, Typography) (Paperback)
This book is amazing! I bought it for a school project my daughter was working on in school about Colonial America, to show the kind of book people used to write from back then. It is beautiful and the calligraphy is amazing. As a historical item it is definitely worth buying, however, if you are wanting to LEARN how to do it, there are other books that are better. Mastering Copperplate Calligraphy, a Step-by-Step Manual is one good choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Example of Engrossing, January 12, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Universal Penman (Lettering, Calligraphy, Typography) (Paperback)
The "Universal Penman" is an excellent example of 18th century engravings. The engravings are amazing. The talent of the artists inspires both the beginning and advanced student of penmanship.
