Calligraphy Workbook for Beginners Review: Excellent choice for aspiring calligraphers - I now own several books on calligraphy, brush lettering, etc. I was quite pleased with this one, because: (1) The majority of the book (about the first 148 pages) focuses on teaching alphabets. (2) There are several alphabets. I counted six, including Unical, Gothic, Foundational, Italic, etc. These are the ones that are most often sought. (3) There is EXTENSIVE instruction in each alphabet, with multiple clear photos that are large enough to clearly show the strokes that make up the letter. They are enumerated to show the order in which they are made. There is additional and detailed instruction for each alphabet in diagrams, text, etc. I like that the photos show the letters being made with the pen. Additionally the diagrams and text explain the nature of the letter, the shapes of the letters, etc. This is not a book that you write in. I like that because the workbook-style books often have a lot of blank space. I find it difficult to hold the book open in such a way as to write in it and the paper often is not well suited to maintaining the pen. There are a limited number of projects in the back, such as a holiday greeting card, and one could use this text to get the idea of how to create other projects of one's choosing. However, I generally do not find the project section of various books to be all that useful for me, so I appreciate that this section is minimal in this book. There is sufficient information about pens, pen maintenance, lined practice paper, etc. in the front of the book, though I appreciate that this is neither cutsey nor extensive, because I prefer to look at the ratings on whatever pens are currently being sold and available in my area. This is a straight to the point and pleasing book that teaches the mechanics of several lettering styles and it is very easy to learn and follow, leaving the reader only with the task of practicing in order to develop skill. This would be among my top choices for books and perhaps the one I would choose if I could have only one book. I think it is a purchase that readers will not regret. Review: Calligraphy Workbook - I love Calligraphy... a lady was watching me and offered me a job doing wedding invitations because she thought I had known Calligraphy for years!! It is SO much fun... all it takes is patience, and to love what you're doing. The workbook is a big help!! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0811719952 | | Best Sellers Rank | #189,758 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #91 in Calligraphy Guides #248 in Crafts & Hobbies Reference #275 in Pen & Ink Drawing | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (649) | | Dimensions | 8.5 x 0.65 x 11 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 9780811719957 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0811719957 | | Item Weight | 1.53 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 208 pages | | Publication date | October 31, 2017 | | Publisher | Stackpole Books | ## Images ![Calligraphy Workbook for Beginners - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71dPGJM64mL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent choice for aspiring calligraphers *by R***W on August 15, 2024* I now own several books on calligraphy, brush lettering, etc. I was quite pleased with this one, because: (1) The majority of the book (about the first 148 pages) focuses on teaching alphabets.
