It’s not terrible, but I do wish that there were a lot more pages to practice individual letters on than there are.

I am taking up a new hobby on my YouTube channel vanessasvanlifejourney. I always wanted to learn calligraphy, so I invested in several products that would assist me in my new hobby. This product arrived fast, and was exactly what was described.

I sent this to my grandchildren - age 8 and 11 to get them interested in writing styles and I thought a new fun project. They are excited to start with the special pens I sent too.

Great guide but you need to download the worksheets onto better quality paper

This is a great guide, but the paper quality makes it totally useless as an actual workbook. You can't use a brush pen to actually do the practice exercises in the workbook because the pen bleeds through the cheap paper. So, essentially, this is a nice "how to" book that is unusable as an actual workbook. I suppose you could take apart the book and print out the pages on a higher quality paper; so there's that option I guess. **UPDATE**: I just discovered that you can go to the author's website and sign up for her newsletter. Once you do that, you can download a PDF document with sample worksheets that you can then print out onto higher quality paper (like HP Premium printer paper) to practice brush pen strokes. So, I am updating this review to 4 stars.
