Review: a great book for a serious beginner! - I LOVE this book - it offers clean & pleasant practice pages with great smooth paper - perfect for my Tombow brush pens to glide across. I have collected many hand lettering books over the years but I find that the books that are full of instructions, tips and tricks are often the lease inspiring for me. I start thinking too much and just get nervous. With this book, there is a sufficient amount of instructions, but I think the author's point in giving you so much practice space is that the real KEY to getting good at this craft is just repetition. Really no matter how much you read about it, you won't learn to make beautiful letters without practicing. I suppose it depends on the person, but I am a very hands-on learner, and I memorize things best through writing. Hand lettering and calligraphy is such an enormous subject, that perhaps the best way to learn is to start small - just learn this one style, learn the basics, then you can move on to other fancy forms and flourishes. This is exactly what the author does - she teaches you one simple but beautiful style to get you started. She reenforces her teaching by offering you a large, clean, lovely space to practice. I just love how I don't need to use scrap paper to practice, and I can see my progress by flipping through the book. After you get the letter forms down, she moves on to teach you how to connect letters and how to make them "dance." But those lessons I feel like are extras. The main point here is acquire a solid foundation through practice. I think this is a great book for the serious beginner. On the other hand, you don't really need this if you already have basic hand lettering skills. Also, I highly recommend getting a pack of the Tombow dual brush pens to practice with. They're easy to use for a beginning, super smooth and the colors are so bright. All my letters in the photos are done with Tombow markers. The primary color pack is on sale on desertcart now for around $12! That's a steal. Hope this review helped!
Review: This book is amazing! - My wife has an interest in calligraphy and even has a nice pen set that her grandmother left her but just hasn't ever gotten down to learning how to do it. A conversation recently sparked the idea in my head of getting her a book like this for Christmas so here I am. I browsed for awhile before finding this book and just had a feeling as soon as I saw it. It had some great reviews and just looked like it was very nicely put together, which it very much is! It has nice thick spiralbound covers and an overall cheerful design with the dots on it and there's quite a bit of content inside. I've thumbed through it a few times and it has a ton of exercises for each letter in a few different styles and reminds me of a fun textbook the way it's laid out. What really caught my attention while looking it over is the little arrows that flow around the letter indicating the pen strokes. I'm not sure if this is common in these books or unique to this one but without actually sitting down and reading everything before that section I could clearly see how the letters flowed from beginning to end. There's even a section for little simple illustrations you can add. It's high quality in it's design and the content and lessons provided. I have zero doubt that the wife is going to love it and have no problem learning rather quickly. I might even try my hand at it considering how straightforward it looks! Overall I'm happy with the book and feel like I picked the right one for sure. I would definitely recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stunning, quality made, great for a beginner
*by N***1 on January 25, 2025*

This is a beautiful practice book. It's top-shelf all the way. The spiral binding makes it easy to minimize space. The cover is sturdy so you can use this without a table or desk beneath it. The paper is smooth and thick. The lettering drills, flourishes, and words are easy to use. Modern calligraphy is so much more fun than old-style calligraphy--more creative than "precise." This will make a wonderful gift for anyone even remotely interested in modern calligraphy--especially for yourself!
