I've recently been getting more into (or returning to, I suppose) calligraphy and lettering. It seems like it's becoming more popular, and yet I've not found a book to quite suite my needs - until now. If you want good variation of styles, simple directions, room to practice, and most important to me, different methods (as in pens and brushes), this is a great place to start. Without a doubt, this would be one of my book recommendations for anyone starting (or again, returning after much to long) to lettering.

It was exactly like I imagined. Beautiful inside and out!
This is a great book if you are looking for instructions to begin in the world of drawing letters. The instructions are very simple and clear, and you will find a guide of materials with descriptions and how to use it.
One of the things that I most appreciate about this book , it's the fact that covers different styles of calligraphy, medieval and modern, and even artistic projects that involved lettering. Also, you will find some practice sheets in front of every lesson, and a lot of ideas and inspiration for your crafts.

I don’t know if I can fairly review this book. It looks interesting and yes I would like to learn the techniques that it shares, but really it is the type of book you need to have in hand. It walks you through the different lettering and gives you pages to try sample letters on but like I said it is hard to judge on an IPad. It does look interesting

This is a handy little lettering book. I think it’s great for someone who is just starting out with hand lettering or need some inspiration for fonts. I appreciate how many different styles there are to practice from and how it gives ideas. It’s great that every few pages there are practice pages so you can try out the fonts for yourself right in the book.
The Little Book of Hand Lettering and Design would be a great gift for someone who has just gotten into hand lettering or journaling or just wants to practice their hand lettering in general. I like how at the beginning it gives a list of tools to use and paper ideas, as well as instructions on getting started. I think if you are wanting something more advanced in regards to learning hand lettering this might not be for you. I think it would be a good reference guide if you're needing some inspiration. It would be great to have around for ideas when journaling or bullet journing or even scrapbooking.

Thank you to Netgalley and Walter Foster Publishing for allowing me to see this book in advance. I love looking at different hand lettering books to get ideas from and practice my own hand lettering and fonts.

Okay, now this is a great hand lettering book. Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for letting me see an ebook/pdf of this book. This is what I expect from a hand lettering book. I love how there are so many sheets for practice. I also love how there is so much information. I really want my normal writing to be more like the skeleton hand. So pretty. I really appreciate all the arrows that help with the spacing and proportions of shapes. I wish more books would do that. It goes a step further and shows you some how to's on backgrounds and some flourishes too. I only wish that the fun with letters has more. Maybe each "fun" letter has the whole alphabet shown, like your previous fonts/hand lettering. Those were some of my favorite but I just wish I had the whole alphabet for all of them. Overall, I really like this book and will definitely be using some of the tricks and tips in it!
