Maureen Sullivan has produced the perfect handbook for helping you to develop & create your own original calligraphic style, & to enjoy the art of 'beautiful writing'. The
book begins with the historical background to calligraphy; the materials & equipment you need; & basic techniques, including ruling the paper, basic strokes, pen angles &
basic letters. The book then progresses through the most common hands
