Book Synopsis: Anyone can master the beautiful art of calligraphy, a rewarding pursuit that requires few tools and no artistic training.

Two expert calligraphers show how to get started, with definitions of terms and suggestions for assembling materials, choosing a good writing surface, lighting the work space, posture, placement of the paper, setting up the page, and assembling the pen.
After demonstrating how to make the basic calligraphic strokes, they give specific instructions for forming letters, numbers, and punctuation.
