Thrilled with it, wish I'd had this when I started
Only got this because the one I wanted wouldn't be here in time for the birthday - this beauty came the next day, all wrapped in cellophane, a lovely solid, hardback book with an elastic book closer. I took it out carefully to check and it's great. The paper is lovely and thick, and there is enough instruction and then space to practice. I'm very very happy with it and wish I'd had this when I started, instead of the 4 that I bought myself ;-) Thoroughly recommend for the beginner.

Bloody Awesome Book!!
I follow Emma Witte on FB and IG and bought this book because I like her work and her really personable interactions with all her creative fans.. She's encouraging, helpful, full of advice and is straight up honest as F!! Her book is a reflection of her everyday work ethics, knowledge and passion for being creative with lettering! She's fantastic and her break down of how to work your brush pens, letter shapes and materials is simple, easy to follow and done in good bite sized chunks. Nothing is complicated or confusing...The reason for 4 stars... I want the work/practice sheets to be bigger!!

Looked a very comprehensive book on caligraphy.
This book looked very comprehensive and detailed but I gave it away as a present and the recipient was very pleased with it.

It is only like half a book because it is full of practice pages.
I like the friendly way it is written and you feel you are talking to the author.The book is clear and well layed out.My only criticism is that half the book is full of practice papers when this could be full of more information and instruction.

Helpful detail.
It's a good step by step tutorial for learning one particular script. It won't give you ideas for other alphabets or styles.

SuperBook

Great book for beginners at lettering
Really nice book for learning to do lettering with a brush pen. Lots of practice pages (I use tracing paper over the pages because I want to preserve the book as is). I have found that as a beginner at modern calligraphy and lettering, I use either Micron pens or Marvy Uchida LePen Flex pens. Im gradually working toward using traditional brush pens. Nice alphabets in a variety of styles.

Uno dei migliori libri sul lettering
A mio avviso è uno dei migliori libri mai provati. A differenza dei classici eserciziari, ci sono molte più nozioni, come ad esempio una sezione molto corposa sui vari tipi di brush pen / strumenti e una bella sezione di composizione.

Justo lo que buscaba
Es exactamente lo que buscaba. Un libro que además de teoría incluyera hojas de ejercicios para principiantes. Me encantó. Además tiene pasta gruesa así que está hermoso.
