Morgan Ann Smith: Doesn’t actually teach you. Just has you repeat a letter over and over a couple times.

Jeff Lebowski: My wife has an interest in calligraphy and even has a nice pen set that her grandmother left her but just hasn't ever gotten down to learning how to do it. A conversation recently sparked the idea in my head of getting her a book like this for Christmas so here I am. I browsed for awhile before finding this book and just had a feeling as soon as I saw it. It had some great reviews and just looked like it was very nicely put together, which it very much is!

It has nice thick spiralbound covers and an overall cheerful design with the dots on it and there's quite a bit of content inside. I've thumbed through it a few times and it has a ton of exercises for each letter in a few different styles and reminds me of a fun textbook the way it's laid out. What really caught my attention while looking it over is the little arrows that flow around the letter indicating the pen strokes. I'm not sure if this is common in these books or unique to this one but without actually sitting down and reading everything before that section I could clearly see how the letters flowed from beginning to end. There's even a section for little simple illustrations you can...

Aurora Castillo AlboresAurora Castillo Albores: El libro es precioso, la calidad del papel e impresión es muy buena, llegó un poco abollado en las esquinas, pero nada que afecte demasiado, la información es muy completa, para principiantes en lettering muy recomendado.

SeramopSeramop: First of all, lets start off with how cute this spotted book is. It has these gorgeous gold trims on the corners that look so fancy I quite honestly don't want to even write in it. I love learning calligraphy on my iPad so I actually scanned them into my iPad so that I can practice forever without having to damage my book. You guys have no idea how cute it is!! Maybe one day when I find the pretty calligraphy pens I will get the nerve to actually write inside of it. For now I'll just keep on practicing on my iPad. I kept searching everywhere and all of the calligraphy books were so darn expensive-- literally hundreds of dollars to learn. I carry the book in my purse (book bag) everywhere I go and practice every chance I get. I cannot believe how easy ChalkFullofLove makes this look. I have actually gotten up the nerve to try my own hand at calligraphy and create things for my home. The book starts off with the basics from lowercase, to capitals and even numbers and works it's way to different strokes and actually creating full art pieces. For less than $20 you can try your hand at calligraphy and it's so much fun... not to mention relaxing! I put up a photo of...

Courtney Martin : I ordered this book a few months ago knowing it was out of stock, but eagerly awaiting the day it would come back in stock. Let me tell you, it was totally worth the wait! I love that it's a workbook style instead of heavy on definitions and information. There is just enough to teach you the basic terminology and give you an understanding, and then it's all about practice, practice, practice! Having the chance to trace out the letters and then give them a go really helps to get a sense of how to form everything, and I found it super helpful to learn this way. I'm by no means an expert but with a little practice, who knows!
I was really happy with the approach and format of the book and would recommend it to anyone looking to learn. Definitely have an extra notebook ready to keep practicing though because it isn't easy! Also love the format and appearance of this book!

K. Liang: I LOVE this book - it offers clean & pleasant practice pages with great smooth paper - perfect for my Tombow brush pens to glide across. I have collected many hand lettering books over the years but I find that the books that are full of instructions, tips and tricks are often the lease inspiring for me. I start thinking too much and just get nervous. With this book, there is a sufficient amount of instructions, but I think the author's point in giving you so much practice space is that the real KEY to getting good at this craft is just repetition. Really no matter how much you read about it, you won't learn to make beautiful letters without practicing.

I suppose it depends on the person, but I am a very hands-on learner, and I memorize things best through writing. Hand lettering and calligraphy is such an enormous subject, that perhaps the best way to learn is to start small - just learn this one style, learn the basics, then you can move on to other fancy forms and flourishes. This is exactly what the author does - she teaches you one simple but beautiful style to get you started. She reenforces her teaching by offering you a large, clean, lovely...
