5.0 out of 5 stars
A good intermediate book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Using Calligraphy: A Workbook of Alphabets, Projects, and Techniques (Paperback)
This is not a beginner's book, but it does have enough information to inspire the intermediate calligrapher to more creative usage. (For the benefit of the previous reviewer, I will note that not all alphabets have upper and lower case forms, particularly Celtic. Those that do have both forms are thoroughly covered in Ms. Shepherd's book for beginners.) This book contains a lot of very useful layout and design information, as well as helpful ideas on starting a calligraphy business. My copy is quite dog-eared, as it has seen a lot of use. I recommend this!

1.0 out of 5 stars
This book was a disappointment.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Using Calligraphy: A Workbook of Alphabets, Projects, and Techniques (Paperback)
This book would have been great if the author had bothered to show both the capital and lower case letters for each letter style. Instead you get either or. For example, you only get Roman capitals, no lower case. For Celtic, Gothic, Italic, etc. you are only shown lower case letters of these styles. HELLO, if someone is trying to learn a letter style, they need to see both capitals and lowers case letters for that style.
