"This famous manual . . . should be read by all those professing the slightest interest in lettering, writing, or the graphic arts." -- Printing World"Despite the spate of publications on this subject, this one remains far and away the best." -- Society of Industrial Artists Journal
This classic introduction presents the fundamentals behind every aspect of the art of penmanship, from the necessary equipment to the best techniques. Written by an expert calligrapher whose books were widely used in schools, it offers an essential guide to those who practice or teach lettering and graphic design.
Clearly illustrated with numerous examples and diagrams, the text begins with the development and characteristics of italic and the essentials of good penmanship: legibility, beauty, unity, speed, expedience, freedom, and control. Subsequent chapters explain the tools of penmanship and their use: pens and penholders, pencils, felt-tipped pens, chalks, paper, and ink as well as hand movements, pressure, and touch. Discussions and examples of technique focus on strokes, joins, rhythms, angularity slant, and spacing in addition to how to write capitals, minuscules, numerals, stops, and contractions.

So helpful!
Format: Kindle
I was a trustee on my father’s living trust. I wish I had read this before he died.
As a trustee I was so confused and even had to pay his estate attorney to guide me through a few things.
My husband and I have been hesitant to put together our will or trust for that very reason.
After reading this I understand the process so much more. It’s not as confusing as I thought.
I know I can save lots of time and money setting everything up now. Thanks!

Get ahead and learn the basics

I wanted to get ahead and learn the basics before diving deep and involve getting lawyers to help me take care of my family's assets. Just like planning for your life and getting health insurance, another way to secure your future is protecting your assets. This book provided basics of estate planning, understand key definitions, and navigate taxes and legalities. It also provided points to consider in choosing the right lawyer to help me. Bonus on this book is the checklist, I like to track my progress and to dos.

Missing so much!
Format: Kindle
This book did nothing but repeat itself. It's writings from several people as they state in the book and each person said the same thing. The whole book can be summed up in 50 pages (probably less) and is simply an outline. It literally tells you to make sure you update your documents and have your passwords secured and accessible by appropriate people. If that's the level you are looking for then this is a great book, but if you want the nitty-gritty, look elsewhere! They advertise a book that has that info supposedly but I am scared to potentially waste my money on that book since I thought I was getting that with this book, "The only Estate Planning book you'll ever need!"

The included checklists and workbooks add extra value, helping you organize and implement your plans step-by-step.
