B16 COPPERPLATE I
C17 COPPERPLATE II
B145. The Zanerian Manual.
B152. Ornate Pictorial Calligraphy by E. A. Lupfer.
Oblique Penholder: An oblique penholder with an adjustable metal flange (if possible). Choices currently available from Paper & Ink Arts are the Century Oblique (H51, H52), the Zanerian Style (H59), and The Hourglass Adjustable Oblique Holder.
Nibs: The Leonardt Principal (N120) is the best currently available nib. Any of the vintage nibs such as the Gillott Principality, 604EF, or Zanerian Fine Writer, will also do.
Ink: McCaffery's Penman's Ink (I37) black, blue or red violet, Tom Norton's Walnut Draw¬ing Ink (I53). These inks work straight out of the bottle. Inks like Higgins Eternal (I70) can be used but do not produce as fine a hairline.
Paper: My personal recommendation for practice (P25) is Kodak's Ultimate 24 pound paper. I also use preprinted guidelines for practice, which may be downloaded and printed out from: http://www.zanerian.com/Vito-loGuidelines2009.pdf
Misc: A pencil, lint free tissue paper, newspaper for cushion sheets, a small sponge, water, inkwell or small glass jar, X-Acto blade (S621, S662) and a soft Revlon-style make up brush for remov¬ing the gold leaf flash from gilded letters. Additional resource: The Zanerian Manual.
Materials fee: $25 for Dr Vitolo's spiral bound 90 page instructional booklet Script in the Copperplate Style on his approach to teaching Copperplate script and his insights into letterform construction, including a CD rom of instructional videos on Copperplate script. An additional $10 to cover gilding materials used in Copperplate II.

S621. Snap Blade Knife
Snap Blade Knife
This knife has a snap off blade that allows quick replacement of the sharp edge. The blade is scored, so that when the cutting point of the blade dulls, it is easy to use the tool that stores in the handle to break off the dulled piece. Then you have a fresh point for precise cutting. Often called for in bookbinding workshop supply lists. (Also called a break-off knife.)
Extra Blades S622.

S662. Retractable Craft Knife
Retractable Craft Knife. This is essentially a slim pen body with a small #11 blade which you retract after you are finished cutting. It’s a safe way to travel with an "X-acto" knife.
For those of us into tools, it’s also "totally cool." Executive Retractable Knife. LIST PRICE $14.45.
