Book Reviews of The Calligrapher's Bible: 100 Complete Alphabets and How to Draw Them
Book Review: Extremely Thourough
Summary: 5 Stars
There are so many styles in this book. Many books that I have come across have just had the basic calligraphy for beginners, but this goes past that right into intermediate and even some extremely hard alphabets. I havent had to use any other books since I have aquired this one. It's the best out there thus far.
