Since lockdown I've been going back and trying different hobbies, I love stationery and thought 'why not'. I'm in no way going to be a professional calligrapher but I think this is a good book to start on a hobby and get better at it. Remember: this is a MODERN calligraphy book so don't think you'll writing medieval letter here (if there's such a thing...) QUALITY: the paper is pretty decent, doesn't feel cheap and the book cover is sturdy enough CONTENT: there is a brief attempt to describe calligraphy and its origins but mainly what it says is 'experience makes it perfect' as anything... DOES IT DO WHAT IT SAYS ON THE TIN? Yes, you have opportunity to try your handle on the different styles, starts with the different letter of the alphabet in cursive and moves on to capitals and 3 different modern calligraphy styles. Then you can move on to full words and finally, you can try your own style - so yes, if you have the patience and commitment to get to the end of the book you'll be better off then when you started after all it is a beginner's guide DOESN'T COME WITH PENS so you need to get hold of calligraphy pens and ENJOY Review: Book is straight to the point and has lots of practice pages - I just received the book today and skimming through the pages, I think this is a good starter with modern calligraphy with lots of pages for practicing. That said, i find it would be more helpful to accompany the book with videos about calligraphy (there’s lots of free channels on youtube) - this would be my answer to the reviews about the book being not too instructive. I’m giving a five star because it suits what I need. I wanted a book with lots of pages for practice and it does have some illustration on how to start writing the letters. This isn’t your typical “by the book” kind of instruction manual and I honestly don’t mind because I’d rather get hands on than reading how to and I think that’s how you learn calligraphy. I’m starting with brush pens then will move on to the dip ink pens, can’t wait! ## Features - Learn to letter and create beautiful designs with this beginner's guide and workbook!

It tells you about all the different pencils /pens you can use for calligraphy. I bought separate calligraphy pens ✒️ but this book seems to say nothing about needing calligraphy pens and more about brush pens so I would by brush pens but doesn’t show you how to hold them. However you can use normal pens as it shows you how to use them which is great. Lots of practise space. I would definitely by this book. The reason why I have given a 4 star review is because of the fact that it doesn’t mention which pens to use and I ended up buying the wrong ones. Overall great for beginners/intermediates and teaches different fonts. ## Frequently Bought Together - CreateSpace Classics Lettering and Modern Calligraphy: A Beginner's Guide: Learn Hand Lettering and Brush Lettering - The Ultimate Guide to Modern Calligraphy & Hand Lettering for Beginners - Craft 'n' Beyond Calligraphy Brush Pens Pack of 3 Small, Medium and Large Markers for Hand Lettering, Art Drawing, Sketching, Scrapbooking, Journaling - Beginner Kit with Fadeproof Black Ink --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/50413231-lettering-and-modern-calligraphy-a-beginners-guide-learn-hand-lettering](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/50413231-lettering-and-modern-calligraphy-a-beginners-guide-learn-hand-lettering) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
