Beautiful reproduction of an exquisite manuscript
This is an excellent reproduction of an exquisite manuscript produced during the last phases of the hand-written, hand-illuminated book. The introductory texts are concerned primarily with the history of the two artists responsible for the creation of this work, with some space devoted to its provenence and patron. The majority of pages are, of course, devoted to the plates themselves; no words ...

Calligrapy
If you're looking for new alpabets to use for your calligraphy projects, this is the guy to go to. It is not a how-to for beginners. The alpabets are copyright free so you can use them on any of your projects. I would reccomend this to everyone who has some background in calligraphy who is looking for a different style or to add a little flair to their work.

A Dream Come True for Messiah lovers
For those who know and love Handel's immortal oratorio Messiah, this beautifully-designed book is like a heavenly Godsend from above. The calligraphy that Timothy Botts adopts for the different sections of the text is tasteful and appropriate to the Biblical text and the nuances of Handel's music as well. What strikes the reader is that the calligraphy so graphically depicts the words of the ...

Dover

Dover Publications, 1997

Graphic Designer in Los Angeles
The ornamentation is very nice but something anyone buying any of the Dover Electronic Clip Art series books should take into account is that they are not actual clip art items. Dover has just scanned the art and put it on a CD, the items are not scalable or changeable in a usual clip art format. It is very helpful to have the images already scanned but if you want true clip art, this book is ...

Paperblanks, 2002

A lovely journal
I've found that all of the paperblanks brand journals are very nice and very high quality -- and this journal is no exception. The cover is a nice flat black, it is simple and elegant and pleasing to the eye. The paper is nice and thick, and I've never had an ink pen bleed through the pages. This is, in my estimation, a 5 star product. The only reason I considered giving it 4 stars is because ...
