Thrilled with it, wish I'd had this when I started

Only got this because the one I wanted wouldn't be here in time for the birthday - this beauty came the next day, all wrapped in cellophane, a lovely solid, hardback book with an elastic book closer. I took it out carefully to check and it's great. The paper is lovely and thick, and there is enough instruction and then space to practice. I'm very very happy with it and wish I'd had this when I started, instead of the 4 that I bought myself ;-) Thoroughly recommend for the beginner.

Bloody Awesome Book!!

I follow Emma Witte on FB and IG and bought this book because I like her work and her really personable interactions with all her creative fans.. She's encouraging, helpful, full of advice and is straight up honest as F!! Her book is a reflection of her everyday work ethics, knowledge and passion for being creative with lettering! She's fantastic and her break down of how to work your brush pens, letter shapes and materials is simple, easy to follow and done in good bite sized chunks. Nothing is complicated or confusing...

The reason for 4 stars... I want the work/practice sheets to be bigger!!

It is only like half a book because it is full of practice pages.

I like the friendly way it is written and you feel you are talking to the author.The book is clear and well layed out.My only criticism is that half the book is full of practice papers when this could be full of more information and instruction.

Helpful detail.

It's a good step by step tutorial for learning one particular script. It won't give you ideas for other alphabets or styles.
