Customer Reviews
Very good resource
I'm exploring calligraphy as a serious hobby and have gathered a small library on the subject. This is definitely one of my favourite ones: it provides basic but meaningful background of each style and it really invited me to go deeper on calligraphy as a piece of art history. The book includes clear instructions for practice and there're practice sheets at the end of the book... which is the only problem I see with getting this work on e-book format. IBooks would be a better learning experience if it would allow customers to print practice sheets -in the case of calligraphy. But I'm quite happy with my purchase and I love the enthusiastic spirit of the author. I recommend it.
