In many books on calligraphy, much time is spent on the different fonts. Here, this is done with eight examples but the information is restricted to a double page spread for each. Enough information is given to enable you to practice them but the body of the book is given over to how to decorate and embellish the basic lettering and give them colour, verve and excitement. Jan Pickett is one of the country\'s top calligraphers and the work included here is simply wonderful. - Author: Jan Pickett - Publisher: Search Press - Pages: 144 - Illustrations: 700 - Size: 204 mm x 260 mm - An exciting take on lettering that combines traditional calligraphy with innovative and modern ideas - Hand-drawn lettering instructions that are easy to follow
