Inside This Book (learn more)
First Sentence:
ANYTHING THAT CAN MAKE a mark on a surface can create calligraphy and the projects in this book will suggest that you use some rather unusual writing instruments. Of course, the traditional writing instrument is the pen, and the letter shapes of our alphabet have developed through the influence of a particular sort of pen with a broad or chisel-shaped tip. Read the first page

2.0 out of 5 stars The book can inspire - The nibs will prevent you from getting started, May 10, 2006
The book includes helpful information very nicely laid out to inspire and get you started. The 'fonts' include the foundation (or round hand), italic, gothic, and the unical hands. The letters are not printed against a ruled guideline so the untrained eye will have difficulty seeing the relationship of the letter's x-height to its ascenders, let alone the relationship of the letters to one another. The gothic upper-case is printed as a band 5/8th of an inch high against an unruled white background, again, very difficult to analyze and copy. But the greater hindrance is that the writing tools may prevent you from getting started because of their poor quality. My nibs arrived bent out of shape and the metal reservoir snapped on my first attempt to adjust it: the metal is inferior. Also, the lettering guide included in the kit is not ruled for the hands in the book.

For nib pens I recommend Speedball Calligraphy Pen Sets, or for an excellent and reasonably priced cartridge set try Sheaffer's Calligraphy Kit (set of 3 pens).
