The No Fuss Brush Calligraphy starter kit features a flexible brush calligraphy pen and a detailed instructional book. This kit is perfect for beginners and does not require purchase of the original No Fuss Calligraphy starter kit prior to learning this style. Throughout the book, you will learn each letterform, how to connect letters, and how to compose quotes into a cohesive style. The book also contains project pages and instructions to create beautiful quote pieces. The end of the book finishes with pages and pages of ornate backgrounds for your own "freestyle' products! The pen included with this kit is more flexible, and larger than the pen included with the original "No Fuss Calligraphy" kit. It is a deep warm grey, and when writing with it your lettering takes on a fantastic ombre gradient. This pen is best for larger lettering - such as when creating posters, art prints, and quotes with fewer letters. It can be used to address envelopes in a modern style. This kit includes some special techniques for lettering such as shading. We love this kit for people who are interested in creating designs with lots of colors, as the brush pen comes in a wide array of colors that you can add to your collection after completing the kit!

Perfect Way To Begin
The best way to start learning calligraphy. Comes with a great pen so you don't have to spend a ton of money on tools. Love the design sheets in the back. Strongly recommend to anyone getting their start.

I'm so glad that I purchased this kit
I'm so glad that I purchased this kit! I have been wanting to learn more about calligraphy for a long time, but found other guides rather intimidating... and at this point in my life, I could not find the time to do the exercises that seemed to be required before you can actually start.Enter _this_ kit. All you need to get going, plus a more fun approach - just get started! ;-) Maybe not for everyone, but this suits me very much; it's a great place to start, and I would definitely recommend it - or give it as a gift. :-)

Not bad, but it's really only for the "I've never tried brush calligraphy and have no idea about any of it" type of beginner.
It's a good book, especially for a beginner. I am a moderate beginner, and I learned how to do calligraphy from research online (youtube especially). The book gives you the same tips you can find online through a little research, so I wouldn't say it's worth $30. If they sold it for $10 or $15 dollars without the pen, I would be more prone to buying such book, because I have my own pens, but I understand this book is for someone who is just getting started and has nothing, so if that person is you, I would say "go for it". It's not a bad book, by any means, just not good for someone who already knows the basic "upstroke=light pressure, downstroke=firm pressure" techniques. I find the paper challenging to write on, but that's only because I am used to the XL Marker paper and Rhodia, so I liked the fact that I could try a different type of paper. Overall, I would say, if you have no clue about calligraphy and have 30 bucks to spend, this book will teach you a few things, but if you already know the basics and are just wanting to improve, don't buy it. Maybe I misunderstood that this was only for the "beginner" beginner.

Overall a good buy
Gorgeous kit and comes with a quality pen! I wish there was some more room for letter practicing, especially for capital letters. Overall a good buy
