Spencerian Penmanship (Theory Book plus five copybooks) by Platt Rogers Spencer (1985) Paperback Unknown Binding

Bought these as an analogue antidote to our digital lives!! I have a reasonably good cursive handwriting but have for a long time wanted to take it to a better level. To me there is nothing nicer than receiving a handwrittem note or card with really nice handwriting. Spencerian is not quite as ornate as Copperplate or Round Hand and I intend to combine some of the flourishes of Spencerian with my normal cursive hand inorder to allow for speedy note taking as weel as something a little nicer when times allows. The couse is great, there is a theory book that goes through all the lessons and 5 practice books for different aspects of the course. It might be worth downloading one the the many spencerian templates that you can print off on regular printer paper to allow you to do more practice on the Spencerian slant lined paper. Great course and a great price.

Interesting, and the exercises are useful.I suggest you photocopy the pages, one side only, if you are going to do the exercises with fountain or dip pen, as the ink goes straight through and ruins the other side. Wish I'd done that to begin with.Very reasonably priced product.

Really good books and very nice quality. I have been using tracing paper to practice with the exercise books, gives me the opportunity to get a lot more practicing in and you can clearly see how you're progressing.

Love the drill aspect of this books. Theory book is also included.

Beautiful collection of exercise books. Very excited to learn from them and improve my handwriting skills.

Want to learn beautiful handwriting? Here's the way. I photocopied the worksheets so I could keep practicing.

Great books for different writing. Very easy to follow. Plenty of practice sheets..easy to copy for more practice

Good quality, appreciate the plastic zip pouch.
