My Copperplate book – now in English
« on: March 08, 2024, 04:40:10 PM »
I hope it’s ok to tell you all here that my book about pointed pen calligraphy – mainly Copperplate, but also some other styles and general information – is now also available in English from:

https://www.hoaki.com/shop/en/new-books/copperplate-calligraphy.html
(It’s also available from Amazon and Hoaki ships internationally as well in many countries, also probably you can simply order it from a regular bookstore.)

Here is a link to the US Amazon: Copperplate Calligraphy.

It has also been published in Japanese! You can buy it directly from the publishing house (or also from Amazon):

I want to say Thank you especially to @Erica McPhee, but also to the whole Forum – I never would have been able to write this book without all the wonderful exchanges, learning, discussions and so on here on Flourish! I’m very grateful I found this place back in 2013 when I just had started learning calligraphy.

Cheers and thanks to all of you!

(If this is too much advertising let me know please, @Erica McPhee  ;) …)

Thank you, @Cyril Jayant and @darrin1200 :)! It really was a lot of work – it took me about 1,5 years as I did also all the designing and typesetting, scanning of the exemplars etc. … but definitely worth it!
