review 1: Not really what I was looking for. This is just a collection of different artists styles of writing, what their favorite letter is & their favorite writing tool to use. No alphabets that really impressed me & only hazy how-to instructions on replicating anything they've done. For example: Step 1, draw a shoe shape. (The artist claims this is an easy shape to draw and assumes that opinion is unanimous so doesn't bother to break down that shape into smaller steps for someone who may disagree with her assumption.)
review 2: This book was just placed in my hands, thanks to the publisher, and I am really pleased with this well done book! I'm kind of a calligraphy junkie, although truth be told, I have not put in enough practice time to call myself "good" at mark mak... moreing, lettering and calligraphy, but I love the 'trying' to become good part!"Creative Lettering" takes you through the basics of course; paper, pens, inks, paints & types of letters, but it goes far beyond the basics with sections written and designed (with accompanying projects and exercises) by some of the biggest names in lettering and calligraphy design today. Featured calligraphers include Andy Ainger, Francois Begnez, Flora Chang, Barbara Close ,Philippe Debongnie, Karyn Denten ,Aimee Dolich, Lisa Engelbrecht , Pam Garrison ,Stine Kaasa, Rhianna Lederman, Martha Lever, Linda Schneider, Jessica Swift ,Madeline Tomkins & Lori Vilegen.I know that this book will become one of my "go to" books for calligraphic inspiration! It will live on the small bookcase that sits right on my design table, ready to pull out for a creative boost anytime that I feel the need!If you are a lettering,calligraphy & mark making fan or an artist that just needs some added motivation, grab this book now ! It's a bargain and , yes, it really is that good - no kidding less
