4.0 out of 5 stars Has really helped me improve my handwriting., 20 Feb 2009

arronax (Paris) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Calligraphy in the Copperplate Style (Lettering, Calligraphy, Typography) (Paperback)

I was looking for a book to help me improve my penmanship and it has been quite difficult. I fancied copperplate so I purchased this. Note this was for my everyday handwriting not Calligraphy but this has done the trick nicely. Clear examples to copy out and instructions on how to create each letter with certain stroke.

I only wish there was one more geared to everyday hand-writing with an ordinary pen.

This review is from: Calligraphy in the Copperplate Style (Lettering, Calligraphy, Typography) (Paperback)

For a beginner this is excellent book with not only written, but visual guides of how to form the letters along with guideline pages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Calligraphy in the Copperplate Style, 26 May 2000

By Bridget Jenkins - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Calligraphy in the Copperplate Style (Lettering, Calligraphy, Typography) (Paperback)

This is a fabulous manual for beginners, explaining the 17th century calligraphy technique which imitates copper etchings of the same, using a fine nib. A great buy with nice detail.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction book for learning and teaching Copperplate, 16 Feb 2010

By PenandInk - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Calligraphy in the Copperplate Style (Lettering, Calligraphy, Typography) (Paperback)

I first gave this book 5 stars but I decided to give it 4 stars because the best book to learn Copperplate from is "The Zanerian Manual" which is a much bigger book. Also, there are lessons online from IAMPETH website and videos (view my other reviews for details) that will teach you Copperplate. I do recommend this book for teaching and learning Copperplate and it has great guidelines to copy if you don't want to draw your own guidelines in the beginning.

4.0 out of 5 stars Calligraphy in the Copperplate stye, 15 April 2010

By Charles - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Calligraphy in the Copperplate Style (Lettering, Calligraphy, Typography) (Paperback)

As A New Student and Enthusiast Of the Copperplate Style, I was told this was a (Must Have) Reference. In a class of 25 students, Most with 5 to 15 years experience, Everyone had this book. My only disappointment and let down was that it was part of the New (Green) way of thinking. it was printed with Recycled Material which i am very much against when purchasing a Fine , keep and use for years book. The Price was great and I did buy 2 books, one to use and one to share and May buy another to give to a close friend.
