Format:Hardcover
In the past I have bought several books on calligraphy - all much the same and full of stuff you don't want. At last a book that covers everything you do want in an easy to read format. David Harris gives instruction for 100 alphabets in one little book and has skimped on nothing. As well as this he has even managed sections on materials,layouts and illumination. It will certainly be my 'Bible' from now on.

A very well laid - out and written book, with a serious choice of alphabets for anyone. The letters explained cover most periods of history, and instructions on tools and materials, preparing to write and tips on illumination etc., make this a must have companion.
