I have always wanted to be able to write in true calligraphy, and this is the best one I’ve found. I prefer it because it shows the true calligraphy instead of the “fake” fancy writing that many are turning to.

I really like that the book lays flat. It’s easier to practice the writing on the sheets directly. It’s also easy to use tracing paper so that I can reuse the pages.
