More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
- Improve your handwriting style to write with ease and confidence
- The only book available designed to help the adult to develop their handwriting
- Many practical examples and short courses to help you improve
- Authored by the world-renowned expert on handwriting, Rosemary Sassoon
The way we write mirrors our mood and character. It is the way we project ourselves to the world - and other people often judge us by our handwriting. The aim of Teach Yourself Better Handwriting is for people with any style of writing to be able to relate to the book and learn from it.
This practical and informative book will help you to improve your handwriting and develop a mature and individual style. It is specifically written for adults and uses self-diagnosis test to identify problems, and 'before' and 'after' examples to illustrate common faults. This book covers everything from holding a pen, to the difficulties that left-handers face and problems that may be caused by medical conditions.
Teach Yourself Better Handwriting does not try and inpose any particular handwriting model. Instead, it offers alternatives and encourages you to experiment and choose the one that suits you best.
This edition includes a revised introduction and epilogue, as well as even more practical exercises to assist the reader.

Format:Paperback
I bought this book about 3 weeks ago and have seen a marked improvement in my handwriting. It's a little ponderous in its approach but it ticks all the boxes if you want to identify what makes your handwriting illegible and how to improve with practice. The exercises are pretty boring and repetitive but do them and you will find results in a few weeks can be achieved. The writing style put forward is rather like cursive italic (Getty and Dubay).
In my teens I trained as a draftsman. Each morning I was obliged to spend 30 minutes (for a few months) retraining my cursive hand into printed lettering for architectural drawings. As a result I lost the ability to write cursive and my hand writing 20 years later was very scruffy and printed. My daughter started learning cursive at school so I wanted to re-learn and this has been a journey of discovery!
I like my emerging new handwriting and recommend this book to you!

This book was straightforward and easy to follow, and I achieved fantastic (and lasting) results with regular practice over a couple of months.
The advice is easy to follow and doesn't ask you to unlearn all your bad habits, just learn the good habits which will improve your handwriting.

Got the book quickly. Reliable seeming supplier. Not that fantastic for late teenage boy to improve handwriting. Lots on analysing handwriting roblems. Could have done with more practice sheets and styles of handwriting to choose from. Bit disappointed didn't do this. Never mind!

Unsatisfactory
The handwriting advice in this book is trivial; it seems most suited to the training of one who is incapable of writing at all. Read more
