Anyone can be a calligrapher in short order with Calligraphy A-Z, featuring streamlined techniques for learning the basics of the art. Among the author's innovations is a technique that allows you to form all letters, numerals and punctuation marks with just a few basic strokes, learning the structural elements of lettering rather than simply imitating samples. (Most books make you learn 70 different forms!) The result is a shorter learning curve and more personal, creative and beautiful calligraphy.
