An excellent guide to calligraphy that includes several hard-to-find Gothic variations and Gothic-derived scripts alongside the more traditional scripts. The historical examples are abundant, and are printed clearly enough that the larger examples can be used as models. Also, in a genre of books where the script exemplars tend to look nothing whatsoever like the historical examples, many of the scripts in The Art of Calligraphy actually look like the examples. That's rare praise. I'm working on F An excellent guide to calligraphy that includes several hard-to-find Gothic variations and Gothic-derived scripts alongside the more traditional scripts.

Also, in a genre of books where the script exemplars tend to look nothing whatsoever like the historical examples, many of the scripts in The Art of Calligraphy actually look like the examples. That's rare praise. I'm working on Fraktur now, and I consult the historical example when I have questions about the script exemplar. You can't do that with most calligraphy books, even the otherwise excellent.

If you want to learn scripts as they were actually written, that's priceless. The ductus provided are excellent, and tips on the finer details of the scripts are inserted in the ductus descriptions and around the margins of the page.

The tips are valuable. I learned from them even when reading pages on scripts I'd already studied exhaustively. However, each script gets only one two-page spread of instruction, total. There's little to no information on letter, word, and line spacing, no explanation of how the letter shapes relate to one another, no 'building block' strokes, and only as many examples of letter variations as will fit in the remaining space--that's not many.

Casual readers may find this a blessing. There's enough information to learn to write a close resemblance of the historical script, but not too much to overload you. Calligraphers who are good at picking up the details on their own won't need more, especially with the excellent historical examples included. People in the middle--that's me--may find that they want more information. But I can't complain too much. The book is beautiful, the exemplar scripts are easy to learn from, and the scripts are both attractive and rare.

Well worth reading. This was my fist calligraphy book ever, and I still refer to it time to time, especially for the wonderful timeline of calligraphy writing styles found at the beginning of the book!
