El libro es muy completo. Fue un regalo y ha conseguido que se aficione a la caligrafía. Hay un apartado para crear tipografía en el ordenador (no lo hemos probado aún).

Beautifully illustrated, clearly written instructions and discussion of tools, inks, nibs, and a variety of “hands” (fonts), reproducible practice sheets for each hand, and suggestions/examples for using your calligraphy. What more could any calligrapher want? Next to the Speedball Handbooks, this is the best calligraphy “how-to handbook” I’ve ever purchased, and I am a collector of calligraphy books!

Really happy with this book! Covers much ground and in great detail. I find it very inspiring and am in the process of trying to emulate some of the wonderful and colourful examples. Would heartily recommend this for any calligraphers who are interested in practical applications of borders, colour choices and illumination.

My daughter borrowed this book from her art teacher so we decided that she needed her own copy. She really likes it.

This is the best Calligraphy book I have ever seen! the illustrations are so good. It takes you step by step on how to form the basic lettering first and gradually working up to the grandest penmanship, It also introduces you to knotwork, again taking you through it slowly. there are pages at the back you can copy so you can then use them to practice on. This book is amazing you would never need any other calligraphy tuition if you get this

This is a great calligraphy book which not only walks you through the basics, but then later gives you ideas how to use your new skills to make personalized art and gifts. The Celtic knotwork ideas are beautiful. I’m glad I saw this and picked it up. I’ve been doing calligraphy since I learned it in art class in junior high school, but this has even more prompts.
