Synopsis

Revised edition of a survey of bookhands. Knight (a lettering artist and teacher) has selected examples that show a coherent and reasonably consistent relationship between methods of tool use and letter formation, as well as writing without idiosyncracies of style. Full page manuscripts (with enlargements as well as a fragment at actual size) present details of letter construction and allow judgments about the technical conditions of writing and its qualities of rhythm and movement. Oversize: 9x12". Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
