HISTORICAL SOURCE BOOK FOR SCRIBES
A fine book on historical writing. Each hand presented contains a detailed breakdown of the angles and spacing of a specific historical example. This is a real boon.

TEACH YOURSELF CALLIGRAPHY
Teach Yourself Calligraphy by Patricia Lovett does exactly what it says 'on the can'. Introducing the student to the best materials and equipment by way of informative text and clear illustrations in full colour, it takes them through the making of each letter stroke by stroke, the four basic alphabets and on to simple and more exciting ideas and projects. New technologies are explained – how to use the computer, scanner, printer and photocopier to reproduce multiples from a paste-up. It helps one solve problems and deal with mistakes. There's a whole section on mixing and using colour, a glossary of terms and a comprehensive index.
Sue Cavendish, Administrator, The Edge (Calligraphy and Lettering Arts Society magazine)
