Customer Reviews

This is an Encyclopedia of Calligraphy Techniques.

I have had this book in my library for a long time. I recently ordered a book with a similar name, so I got this off the shelf and started to look at it. It displays several examples of beautiful Illuminated Calligraphy, and several examples of exquisite samples from the Book of Kells. I feel that it shows what Illuminated Calligraphy is better than teaches how to do the techniques yourself. It could just be me.
