Customer Reviews

A deal you can trust

I have puchased several books from this dealer and am always happy. I'll be back.

One of the best calligraphic books.

Marie Angel wrote a masterpiece with this book. It is one of the few technical books I have ever read from beginning to end in one sitting. This book is a must for every serious calligrapher.

beautiful and useful

This book contains examples of some wonderful small-scale paintings, along with advice on materials and techniques. The painting subjects are mostly drawn from nature, with very few historical examples. I'd recommend this book for people who are interested in making their own calligraphy or small book projects and would like to incorporate natural subjects into their work. It is not a historical treatment of calligraphy or illumination, but would be a good addition for the library of those interested in contemporary work.
