5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent instructions for italic handwriting
By shoe princess on May 22, 2015
Format: Paperback
Excellent instructions for italic writing. Interesting methods of teaching that drill in the principles without being repetitive or boring. Beautiful illustration, plenty of room for practice, good guide sheets. I prefer this over the book "write now" or "italic lettering." Good organized sequential projects that give consistent practice of principles taught. I find it useful to go back and review every so often and almost find something I didn't catch the first time. I would recommend this book for anyone wishing to learn italic handwriting.

5.0 out of 5 starsA Master's Master ... Available again. There is still joy in this world...
By Annie Schwaikert on March 23, 2016
Format: Paperback
I first encountered this book when I started teaching calligraphy in the late 80's and 90's. I had never until then seen such a brilliant approach to the italic hand for the learner and perhaps even more for the teacher. Prior to my exposure to this book I had learned and taught calligraphy as an art form. When I first learned italic at prep school, there were a group who took an advanced art history book where the teacher, himself an italic master, insisted that his students take all their class notes and write all his exams in italic. If they used Italic in the same way for all their other classes, they got extra credit and, by the end of their senior years were masters of Italic. As most people do who get to the other side of the hill, I have many regrets -- one of the most painful being that I didn't stick up for myself and take this class. I grieved at my lack of mastery for many years, until I discovered this book. I embraced its lessons as diligently as I was able and over time, saw my italic make the kind of improvement I had previously thought impossible. A couple of times since, my ability and fluency in italic have been affected by factors such as a stroke, growing arthritis in my hands and, of necessity, more and more time spent on a computer. With each obstacle, I found a new (or at least fresh) copy of this book and happily dove into Eager's special sort of 'rehab'. then for a number of years, copies were hard to come by, even here on Amazon. But at last here it is. Oh,Joy...

Lately I've turned down a number of requests to teach because this book wasn't available and, though I've examined each training text that comes along, I remain Eager for Eager. Now that I can again get new copies, I may even take on a new class or two. Thanks so much for Reissuing thisi wonderful book!

4.0 out of 5 starsI would rather dream my way to nice handwriting and skip the work
By Yoga Girl from Kohler on March 10, 2016

Probably more work than I care to do but sure it would do the trick if I was willing to take the time to do the work. I would rather dream my way to nice handwriting and skip the work!
