One Volume Book of Spencerian Penmanship Copybooks - Nothing NewBy Das Englisch von Kouml;niginFull disclosure: this is just a one book amalgamation of the Spencerian Penmanship Copybooks. Theyve been put together all in one volume which is handy as the original copybooks were for school children in the mid to late 19th century. To be fair. it is good information though written in the very dry antique style of textbooks of that era. The paper quality is better than the copy books are if your going to use it as a workbook. It has all the pages to practice on but the binding should have been spiral. because as it is you cant lay it flat to work in. If you are interested in pointed-pen calligraphy and Spencerian script in particular. it is a handy reference volume to have. I agree with the other reviewer in that I dont really understand why it took so many delays to reprint the copybooks that are already available. If the price had not been lowered. I would have returned it. I really thought this was something new and someone had taken the time to update the text and information. If I were the publisher. Id reprint with a spiral binder format that would at least make it more useful as a workbook. Its good for what it is as a reference book only. I had to laugh at the very sternly worded copyright information as this is a reprint of material that is most likely in the public domain.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. ... do calligraphy when I was growing up and was pretty good at it since had won competitionsBy Su MI used to do calligraphy when I was growing up and was pretty good at it since had won competitions. But had stopped the right way of writing and wanted to get back to it. This book has the exact science explained but more than that has exercises which I am really looking forward to get me back into the "groove" so to speak.9 of 10 people found the following review helpful. Great instructions in one package.By DanThe best way so far I have found to try and learn the original method of scripting. This has given me great incite into some of the better ways to write in a clear and concise way.
