Unlock the Beauty and Power of Handwriting: Rediscover the Lost Art of Penmanship

JCJC: So I bought this book because my cursive is really really bad. I would expect a book like this would start you out with baby steps, but instead it just has you copy or trace sample letters, words or sentences… it provides no guidance on how to properly write the letters; just has you trace their letters and ‘make up your own.’ … if you’re looking to learn how to write fancy and formal for things like wedding invitations, this may work. But if you’re trying to get back to the basics, this boo gets an F!

Neville Andrade: I recently became very fascinated with fountain pens and eventually wanted to learn how to improve my cursive writing. This book really helped me to slow down and think with my hands. It not only opened my eyes to the beauty of the written form but is also making me become more observant to the world around me.

T. Rose: A Wonderful Reminder of my lifelong passion for cursive handwriting. I was taught cursive handwriting in second grade and I have had an obsession for clear, concise handwriting ever since. Plus, I was a teacher's daughter so it was mandatory I learn the proper skills for writing. I was dismayed when I learned "Penmanship or Cursive Writing" was no longer taught in school. I do not not understand this. Legible handwriting is a vital life skill in my opinion. This book is a very pleasant read of the how and why penmanship is so powerful! I read this book with Kindle Unlimited but plan to purchase my own copy. Love it! 💜

Amazon Customer: I learned how to write in cursive at school but not only I forgot how to write and connect some letters but also my handwriting is very ugly so I thought this book would be perfect, but no. It doesn’t tell you how to do them just shows you the letter and asks you write over it or imitate it but I mean I would of just printed out something from word and done that myself but I wanted more instructions.

Jessamine: This is an excellent book to improve your handwriting. Please note that the paperback is the WORKBOOK that accompanies the hardcover. The pages in the workbook are scored so they can be removed and copied or used for practice. I bought both so I could see the difference because people complained that they couldn’t remove the pages in the hardcover and it’s unfortunate that you can’t. It’s a nice set and please note it is a SET to be bought together. And at less than $25 for both it’s a bargain!

Maycon DouglasMaycon Douglas: Que livro incrível!!! Eu coloquei algumas fotos do livro para os interessados poderem ver um pouquinho, pois a Amazon não mostra dentro do livro. Eu comprei depois de fazer algumas pesquisas sobre a autora e, sobre o próprio livro. Notei que a autora é bem renomada no meio da caligrafia artística e tem uma conta no instagram com alguns posts lindos, mas como todo calígrafo que conheço, ela não posta muita coisa. Foi aí que vi, vários calígrafos maravilhosos que sigo também seguem ela e isso me deu mais curiosidade.
Após assistir alguns pouquíssimos vídeos no youtube sobre, decidi comprar o livro e fiquei meio na expectativa se iria ou não gostar, pois eu não queria mais uma apostila de caligrafia de criança como as que temos disponíveis aqui no Brasil.
Há um tempo venho sentindo vontade de melhorar minha cursiva e enfim resolvi separar um tempo diário para treinar de verdade!
O livro é simplesmente incrível! A autora usa uma linguagem muito leve, com a intenção de fazer o leitor se entusiasmar pela arte da escrita, o que acho ser essencial, para não cair no tédio.
Ela aborda brevemente a história da escrita e como a nossa escrita está...

kehs: Who knew that a book about handwriting would be so fascinating and informative! In this book you not only learn how to improve your penmanship, but you also learn little snippets about the history of the alphabet, how different letterings evolved and ultimately how to create your own writing style.

Gabrielle Dougherty: I have purchased three copies of this book and here's why: I am an amateur letterer / chalkboard artist that is (mostly) self-taught, aside from a few pdf worksheets I downloaded off of Etsy or whatever. I follow a TON of lettering accounts on Instagram to try and learn new methods / styles, and Brenna's style has always been one of my absolute favorites!! So when she announced she'd be releasing a book this past January, I couldn't slam the pre-order button fast enough. After 3 eager months of waiting, it arrived!! I was immediately hooked. The worksheets are so fun and easy to use, and they're perfectly intermixed with her writing blurbs and instructions - great book for people that want to learn from step 1, or just go straight to the practice sheets!

Then my dog chewed up my copy after I got about halfway through so I got wine drunk and cried to my boyfriend about how I "didn't have anything fun to do anymore" (he really appreciated that). I had to order another copy (I was thinking about doing so ANYWAY, because I was loving it so much that I wanted to start from scratch!) and honestly, we don't deserve this price. The book is so well-made, the paper, binding, and...
