Very good book. Clear and concise instructions and some good examples. Gives details of all the equipment required and the various types of decoration all illustrated showing the processes.
Also impressed with the bookseller. Only took two days from ordering to receiving the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Illumination Starter, 24 Mar 2002
By "wyvernfriend" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Illumination for Calligraphy (Paperback)
WHy didn't I have this book for Secondary School when I was trying to think up illumination for my final exams from my head?
Again (where most of my wish list seems to come from) I borrowed this from my local Library.
It goes through the basics and the more complicated methods of illumination and design inspiration ideas, without being dictatorial. Step by step with great photographed stages. I would heartily recommend it to amateur post beginner calligraphers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Illumination for Calligraphy, 5 April 2008
By Barbara J. Franke - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Illumination for Calligraphy (Paperback)
I have just begun doing illumination and found that this book is exactly what I needed as a beginner. The hands-on instruction is step by step and easily followed. The book then takes you through more complex designs, painting and goldwork. I would recommend this book to all illuminators not just beginners.
