If you are interested in the possibilities of Italic as your handwriting style - as opposed to carefully constructed Formal Italic, then this book will be of interest as it comprises 75 pages with 107 examples of italic Handwriting by 96 scribes, all members of The Society for Italic Handwriting .The range and variety of interpretations is staggering,With many different approaches to the style. When it appeared in 2002 it was a limited printing - my copy is no 230 of 350 but there may be one or two out there looking for a good home! Well worth a search.
