Eleanor Winters, author of Calligraphy for Kids, offers another great book on the art of calligraphy. Suitable for both beginners who have no experience at all as well as those who are already hooked on calligraphy, this book offers a bit of something for everyone! The first part of the book goes back to the basics by describing the materials to be used and reviewing the basics of lettering. The second part of the book goes into lettering and covers the alphabet in Italic, Swing Gothic, and Modern Gothic while providing lots of illustrations and helpful hints. For extra practice with letter positioning and size, various guideline templates are provided at the very back of the book. The final portion of the book provides a number of creative project ideas such as making stationary, envelopes, signs, or calligrams (calligraphic pictures). 128 pgs, hc. ~ Enh
