This guide for novices with some experience offers the chance to advance to the next level. Well-illustrated, step-by-step instructions by an expert calligrapher explain every detail of the two most popular calligraphic alphabets.

It concludes with a wealth of advice on layout and design as well as inspiration for original projects.
