The author produced a book of easy-to-read instructions and wonderful illustrations for the art of lettering. More than just a refresher for me, this tutorial offered many unique styles and ways of visually producing letters of superb quality. It was clearly displayed how the art of calligraphy blows life into the English alphabet - the word.~ Paul Kalk, Author/Reviewer
