Art of Cursive Penmanship: A Personal Handwriting Program for Adults

There is no way this book can be faulted. It is a time honoured book. I consider myself to be lucky Together a copy.

Good book for to get your best handwriting

Waste book do not buy

This book is amazing. I’ve complained that I didn’t know how to write cursive in a legible manner for years! I was taught the basics in third grade, but even in my thirties, my cursive looked adolescent. After reading the (very few) pages of chapters, I pinpointed several details I either forgot about, or never learned. Today, my first day of doing 2 lessons, I pulled out an old journal and began to practice. I was amazed! My writing ALREADY looks like an adult’s handwriting and is legible! I was so excited I pulled out some fountain pens I inherited, and realized I COULD write with them thanks to the proper education from this book. I would recommend investing in good copy paper if you want to use a fountain pen. I would not write in the book practice pages, but simply make copies. It suggests not writing on a pad or in a notebook (to specifically practice penmanship.) My copy paper was on the lower end, and my fountain pen feathered quite a bit. But with better copy paper, this was not a problem. I also read a review that said the book contained a bunch of irrelevant information on this history and how to write. These couple “chapters” are a couple pages in length and not excessive. I found them to be helpful. The chapters on writing posture, how to hold the paper, and the writing zone are essential. 95% of this book is practice pages. The “lessons” are merely a box with a to-do list; not reading 20 pages before you write. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone. You can absolutely have amazing penmanship with practice of 30 minutes a day!

Il testo è in inglese, ma di facile consultazione anche per chi ne ha una conoscenza elementare. Scritto da uno dei massimi esperti di Corsivo Americano, offre le basi per imparare in maniera corretta questo tipo di carattere. Il libro è suddiviso in una parte teorica (movimenti di mano e braccio, dimensione delle lettere e degli spazi, inclinazione delle lettere etc) ed una parte pratica (esercizi per sviluppare muscolatura della mano, esercizi di scrittura etc) ed è molto chiaro. La struttura (rilegatura a spirale) ne consente un'agevole consultazione.

Ich suchte Lektüre zum Thema der Schönschriften Spencerian oder Palmer Methode. Nach ein wenig Recherche wurde ich hier fündig. Der Master Penman Michael R. Sull hat einige Bücher (leider nur in Englisch verfügbar) zu oben genannten Themen geschrieben. Dafür recht ausführlich und von der Pike auf. Michael R. Sull war unter anderem der persönliche Kalligraf vom ehem. Präsidenten der USA Ronald Reagan 1990-2003. Diese und viele weitere Informationen gibt’s im Buch „The Art Of Cursive Penmanship“, das eigentlich einem Arbeitsordner gleicht, es werden alle Themen rund um die englische Schönschrift abgehandelt und mit verschiedenen Schreib-Übungen gekrönt. Die kann man immer wieder verwenden, wenn zuvor kopiert. Alles in allem ein wirklich tolles Buch mit Mitmachcharakter. Das soll hier bitte nicht als Werbung verstanden werden, und dennoch möchte ich meine Empfehlung aussprechen, ich bin ganz begeistert. Michael R.
