Written Letters presents over 20 hands with exemplar alphabets, ductus, and extensive notes on the construction of each letter, generally for both minuscules and majuscules. On the opposite page for each hand, a calligraphic composition is presented and Ms. Svaren charmingly shares her thoughts on the hand. The entire text is calligraphic, written out by the author in Italic. This new printing pulls the best from all the earlier editions.

Love this book
I love this book for the handwritten instructions and details on all the letters of many, many broad-edge styles. It's one of the books I most frequently pull off the shelf.

Written Letters new edition
I love the addition of spiral binding. So much easier to handle compared to older versions, especially for high quality photocopies for use where having the book isn't practical.
