### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ a bibliophile's delight
*by P***Y on 28 November 2012*

This is not just any old book on calligraphy. The illustrations are beautiful and would capture the imagination of anyone who loves books simply for the pleasure of opening them, and devouring the contents. To the unitiated it brings a world of fascination dating back into the past. In this day and age technology has to a large extent done away with the need to be expert in beatiful handwriting, but this book shows how in days gone by it was an art form practised by the leading scholars of the time.For the discerning reader it also shows how they could if they wished take it up as an absorbing hobby. Altogether a beautiful and inspiring book.
