The Best Calligraphy Teaching Book

My mother bought this book and now I have to have a copy for myself. I have other calligraphy books, but this one definitely tops them all in the way it teaches and the amount of information covered, along with a multitude of styles, uses, approaches, etc. It is a large, oversized, heavy book that is absolutely packed with valuable lessons and ideas. I am ordering my own copy and it will most likely be the last calligraphy book that I will need. Great photographs and illustrations throughout that make things more easy to understand and do.
