By Inga Dubay and Barbara Getty Looking to improve your handwriting? Want to learn more about calligraphy, cursive italic, and other writing styles? We now carry two terrific books by handwriting experts Inga Dubay & Barbara Getty which provide a fun and easy approach to improving and expanding your handwriting skills. "Write Now" offers an adult-level introduction to writing more legibly using italic printing and handwriting. It also offers an introduction to cursive italic writing using a stub, italic, or oblique-edged point, making this a terrific source of information if you're considering one of John's customizations and want to learn more. "Italic Letters" is a more in-depth work aimed at professional and amateur calligraphers, art teachers, and enthusiasts. Basic Italic, Formal Italic, Chancery, and Cursive Italic are all covered in detail, along with extended instruction in the use of the kind of edged-point customizations which John provides.

Left-handed Calligraphy By Vance Studley Left-handers are just as likely as right-handers to practice the art of calligraphy, but virtually all calligraphy books are written literally from the right-handers' point of view. This book, by noted calligrapher and educator Vance Studley, presents an introduction to calligraphic scripts including Italic and Cursive with an emphasis on positioning and layouts that will make sense for southpaws. References to the history of calligraphic script and the usual writing techniques of left-handers make this a fascinating book even for those not practicing calligraphy themselves. And for those lefties who are getting their first oblique or cursive italic customization made by John, this book will be invaluable. Our price $5.95* Click here to read the review written on this book by our own, Jonella. |
