By Hand: The Art of Modern Lettering - Learn Calligraphy Techniques for Wedding Invitations, Greeting Cards & Home Decor

I've been practicing lettering for over two years now and I have NEVER bought a book to teach me cause all the reviews I have read people complain of the book being almost all blank, like you're buying some worksheets and to be honest you can get that type of exercises online (I got most of my practice out of youtube videos) BUT when I saw this book cover on the instagram of a lettering artist I follow I was very excited and eager to take a look, the cover speaks lifestyle and lettering... I was like YEEAH! finally a book worth buying!!! I ordered immediately and when it arrived I couldn't stop READING and PRACTICING! This book speaks to you, its like having Nicole right next to you talking about the little details of modern lettering that no one else has talked before. From the spaces between letters or lettering in oval shape or circle. Even if you are a beginner or a medium advance in lettering you'll find this book helpful.Why I recommend this book:-Opens flat!! that's awesome and clever at the same time, you'll notice that the spine of the book is exposed and that allows the book to open really nice. I think this detail says a lot about the work of putting together a good book for lettering.- You'll find a little project on each lesson so you can put your brush pens to good use and decorate your next party or make something special for your family and friends.- Very detailed and well explain.- I really loved the cover and back cover to be on what I think is cold pressed paper (excuse me if i'm wrong) which gives a really nice texture andfeeling.- You won't find empty pages just to practice a's, b's c's,... (you can get a notebook for that).To finish I'd like to express that I have enjoyed the book so far (I'm about 50% into it). Hope you enjoy it too and this review is helpful.
