Calligraphy For Beginners: Learn Calligraphy Alphabets, Lettering, Drawing & More! Paperback – May 12, 2015

When the title states Learn Calligraphy Alphabets I would expect to see at least 1 full illustration of miniscule and majuscule letters. This book sadly didn't tell me anything I hadn't already learned.

This book has a terrible layout, and it doesn’t cover any one area in full. I appreciate the history, but the technical aspects of letter formation are missing.With so many books available out there, it’s better to skip this one and move to the next.

This was the biggest rip off I've ever seen! This is of NO help whatsoever for a beginner. You can't learn calligraphy by simply reading about it. It needs to show some examples, explain procedures. Would you try to teach someone a musical instrument WITHOUT the instrument? Do not waste your money on this book. Charolette Pearse should be ashamed to have her name on this piece of useless information! I would return it but that would end up costing me more then the cost of the book. Quite a racket if you ask me. They got me, I hope they don't sucker anyone else.

It a great book for beginners cause you get the background as well as the plain truth it's not going to happen over night it's going to take a lot of practice. But it does peek your interest in making you want to go deeper in the study. The only thing I did not like it didn't give any pictures of the shapes and forms to make while practicing.

I expected photos and actual calligraphy texts.

Obviously wanting to learn but not one example in this book. Waste of time and money. On my way to find another book.

If you are looking for a book to learn how to do calligraphy, don’t buy this book. It doesn’t go over lettering, it only tells you what you need to do calligraphy (ex: you need paper, pen, etc). Everything in this book you can find free on the internet.

Not what I thought it would be.
