In addition to analysis of each alphabet’s features, the book’s detailed instruction provides information on— Tools and materials * Layout basics * Numerals and punctuation * Illumination and ornamentation * Tips for the left-handed calligrapher . . . and more. Readers will also find examples by master calligraphers from past eras. This book’s spiral binding ensures that pages lay flat when opened, allowing calligraphers to study and copy each pen stroke with ease. The Calligrapher’s Bible is printed in color and features more than 350 illustrations.
Extremely Thourough
| Customer Rating: | | There are so many styles in this book. Many books that I have come across have just had the basic calligraphy for beginners, but this goes past that right into intermediate and even some extremely hard alphabets. I havent had to use any other books since I have aquired this one. It's the best out there thus far. |
A Must for the Calligrapher
| Customer Rating: | | This is the one major item you need to have to be serious about calligraphy. The alphabets are the perfect size for copying or enlarging for illumination(in the old fashioned since, no copier here). The book has great instructions for writing the letters. A great buy! |
Loads of Possibilities
| Customer Rating: | | I teach calligraphy and was looking for something to keep my beginner students going once they'd completed the course. This book is it. It gives samples of a hundred different fonts as well as clear instructions on how to create the letters. The spiral binding was a real plus as it lays flat on the work surface. If I get the chance to teach a Level II in Calligraphy this would be a book I could recommend. |
A wonderful tool
| Customer Rating: | | This is an excellent reference book for the beginner or advanced calligrapher. The spiral binding is a wonderful feature allowing the book to stay open while you practice. The pages are heavy duty and full color. The samples are beautiful and the history of writing is fascinating. Even though this book is available at my local library, I will probably purchase a copy for my everyday use at home. |
Great!
| Customer Rating: | | This is a great book for beginners. It has a great layout and is easy to understand. |
