If you are not already a member of the nearest calligraphy guild or society, then I encourage you to join. Most guilds/societies have libraries and allow their members to check out books and other materials. I should think most guilds have this book in their library. Also, longtime guild members may have this book that they may be willing to loan or even sell to you. Finally, I often get out-of-print books from my local library. If they don't have the book, then interlibrary loan is always an option. I hope this helps. There are helpful forums such as the Yahoo! Groups "Cyberscribes", "Ornamental Penmanship" and "IAMPETH" and Facebook Groups "Cyberscribes" and "The Curious Calligrapher" that can act as good resources for calligraphers and their questions - inks, nibs, papers, design questions, etc. I hope this helps!Jane Farrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08942213319794987159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246047778873013396.post-16669168925070771122013-10-18T10:26:30.864-04:002013-10-18T10:26:30.864-04:00Beautiful lettering work.

Could you maybe do a bit on new pens, ink, and/or markers that are helpful?Peghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06834151910259651317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246047778873013396.post-22361225190694514722013-01-10T12:29:15.847-05:002013-01-10T12:29:15.847-05:00These are really nice Fraktur caps. thanks for sh...These are really nice Fraktur caps. thanks for sharing how you got so proficient!

Sometimes, I wonder if my posts are encouraging to others, or I am just doing this for my own benefit. To know that my story, my journey, which in part is all of our journeys, touches something in someone else makes my heart sing.
