 An Excellent Self-Improvment Tool
Before I found this book my handwriting was routinely bad and had it had been suggested several times to me by my own family to makes and improvement. When I took a job as a court clerk my handwriting ability became even more important. One day I received a piece of paper back that I had written that was so bad that the recipient sent it back saying they couldn't even read it. THAT WAS IT! I knew I needed to improve my handwriting. I evaluated a few others and decided upon this book. It balances practical handwriting techniques with easy-to-follow instructions and exercises complete with cursive and basic forms. It's all here from spacing to instructions on how to sit when to write and it is all flexible enough for you to develop your own, BUT STILL CLEARLY LEGIBLE style. I highly recommend it and for those of you intersted you can directly order this book from Portland State University at http://www.cep.pdx.edu/ for faster delivery.
Excellent book for improving handwriting.
After moving a great distance from my kids, I wanted to keep in touch. Typed letters and email seem so impersonal, but my handwriting was awful! I picked up this book in the hopes of improving my poor handwriting. The book takes you away from the loopy hard to read cursive you may have learned in school, and presents a much easier to read (and write) italic. I noticed an improvement in the first few days, probably because I was concentrating more on my writing. Now, after a month or so I don't need to concentrate, and my writing has improved greatly. The book also contains interesting historical tidbits, breaking up lessons with cool facts.
It's Never Too Late to Change Your Handwriting
Like so many others, I learned the standard "ball and stick" print style of handwriting and progressed to the "looped" cursive style when I was in grade school--and I got very high marks in penmanship. By high school I could write fastest in cursive, but I was taking notes so fast it became illegible. Somehow I made it through graduate school taking notes fast and figuring out what I wrote later. Ever since then, I've chosen the computer over handwriting as much as possible. (Not to mention the "looped" cursive isn't very masculine.) Enter "Write Now". What a great book! "Write Now" teaches a style of handwriting called Italic (meaning "from Italy"). My first thought was that this was some "new" style and couldn't be as good as the "basics" I was taught. Turns out, what I was taught is the "new" style (19th century) and Italic is the more traditional (16th century). It is the style that was used by Leonardo Da Vinci and Michaelangelo. Italic focuses on efficiency, ergonomics, legibility, and speed. It easily transitions from print to cursive to calligraphy with little change in the way you write the characters. "Write Now" is broken into three sections: 1) Basic Italic (print) 2) Cursive Italic and 3) Edged Pen Italic (calligraphy). With good explanations and illustrations, it is a pleasure to learn a new style of handwriting. "Write Now" is geared towards adults (or teens) and presents a "cartoon's guide" to the history of handwriting throughout--a good reference even if you don't want to improve your handwriting. The author's are veteran educators and have produced an entire series of books on Italic handwriting to take kids from kindergarten through grade school. They are also in very high demand for in-house hospital seminars to those who most desparately need handwriting help--doctors. :-) I recommend this book highly. My handwriting has already improved. I actually look for reasons throughout the day to use my new skills. If you're like me, don't pass this one up.
