I already have far too many calligraphy books, but just can't resist buying another. "The Complete Calligrapher"
provides a lot of good basic information, clear model sheets in the Alphabet Workbook with attractive examplars, a lot of excellent tips about layout and design, and some interesting projects to try. I've seen much of this in other books, but this puts it all together in one useful volume. A really good book for the beginning or intermediate calligrapher.

I am still waiting for my backorder of The Complete Calligraphy. I know it will be welcome addition to my learning of this almost lost art of writing. Can not wait to try it.
