The book starts with

tools, materials, and basic stokes, and includes instruction for the traditional birds and for the feather quill. A special part of the book comes next, with exercises on creating light and dark textures in irregular shapes and how to use this knowledge, along with step-by-step instruction, to create a swan, crane, rooster, jellyfish, goldfish, peacock, parrot, owl, raccoon, elephant, puppy, rabbit, fox, and zebra. Flourished banners and cartouches and adding lettering to your flourished animals are also covered.

B4238. Calligraphy Styling by Veronica Halim. 2018. 160pp. 7.25"x10.25". Paper $19.95

After a discussion of tools and

materials, you will find excellent exemplar alphabets for caps and lowercase (with stroke direction and hints) for two scripts: Copperplate and Modern Calligraphy, including flourished caps. Next, connect-

ing letters and tips on using caps. There is good stuff here for intermediate scribes and for beginners as a second book. But the main reason to buy the book is the projects, which are sophisticated and stylish, artful rather than crafty. They include various greeting cards and paper ornaments, monograms and stationeries, calligraphy styling with flowers, papers and packaging. Some are just pointed pen script, some require basic drawing/painting skills, others just use splotches, strokes or washes. There is a special section on weddings and other gatherings, but most every project and technique has wedding potential.

This highly innovative,

holistic approach invites you to integrate mind, body,

The book’s exercises build skill and confidence developmentally. They focus on design (letter, text, alphabet), ductus (“target practice”), dynamics (stroke technique, rhythm), spacing, creativity, and play. By always beginning with warm-ups, you are prepared to merge flow with form to create living letterforms. Full of color illustrations and diagrams.

CalligraphyDENIS BROWNB4248. Brown Calligraphy: Denis Brown Discusses His Art by Denis Brown. 2018. 264pp. 8.5"x12". Hardcover $65.00

Calligrapher Denis Brown

reveals his journey, from schoolboy accomplish-ments through rebellious outbreaks to mature

masterworks. His calligraphy transcends the world of lettering into broader realms of expression and artistic communication. He discusses in detail the values of his craft: letterform and composition, structure and fluency, and discipline and freedom. Brown presents and discusses a broad range of his calligraphy, from formal and traditional pieces to expressive and perhaps trans- cendent works of art. He also candidly examines creativity and conceptual approaches in responding to texts.

book is a gem for those of us making objects by hand. Use these simple techniques to create exciting, but surprisingly easy-to-make, 3-D designs.

The emphasis is on surface design over complex cutting. Each chapter introduces a new technique and shows it can be adapted in many different ways or combined with techniques from earlier chapters.

orders (USA only). Your card will not be charged until shortly before the book ships. (If you want to pay with PayPal and delay payment, email your order rather than ordering online.)

In this comprehensive biography of Hermann Zapf, Jerry Kelly, Zapf ’s friend and colleague

of almost forty years, traces the artist’s life from his youth in Nuremberg to his retirement in Darmstadt. Scrupulously researched at the Hermann Zapf archive in the Herzog August Bibliothek in Wolfenbüttel and at the Cary Collection at the Rochester Institute of Technology, and enriched by decades of conversations with Zapf and his associates, the book details Zapf ’s experiences with type companies, printers, publishers and colleagues. It explores his modern design aesthetic and engagement with the staggering technological advances of typography during the twentieth century. Featuring rarities and never-before-seen works and photos, it also includes definitive lists of Zapf ’s type designs and major calligraphic works. However, the volume is more than an in-depth appreciation of Zapf ’s work; it is about his work in relation to his life.

Vellum S1075. Vellum Seconds. Manuscript vellum has a white or nearly white surface, but some skins produce vellum with irregu-lar coloration: an off-white cast to the entire sheet, areas of differing shades of light brown, or both.

We call these Vellum Seconds because they are not white. Other than that, the surface quality is the same as our Manuscript Vellum, and it is prepared for writing on one side. For certain artworks, the coloration can add to the interest of the piece or give it an aged look. And it is less expensive. Search S1075 at www.johnnealbooks.com for sizes and availability.
