Most beautiful book in my collection

I did not expect such a beautiful book. Hard and spiral-bound, 240 pages, an index, lots of penmanship hands. Cannot wait to start the course. Michael Sulls is a true artist, the Goulets truly have good taste.

Certainly Advanced

I had been having trouble expanding on the intricacy of my calligraphy. I am still at the beginning of this book, but the author lays out many ways to expand what you add to characters, and discusses a framework for adding your own embellishments. Altogether, working with this book is improving my calligraphy ability.

Jam packed book of knowledge!

I bought this as a gift, but I will have to get one for myself soon. It has detailed instructions for dozens of different flourishes and ornaments to cursive writing, as well as much basic instruction for cursive writing. There are many, many illustrations of flourishes etc., making this a real encyclopedia of a book.
