2.0 out of 5 stars ..., Aug 7 2011
This review is from: Calligraphy Kit: Learn the Art of Beautiful Writing (Hardcover)
I was unimpressed with the quality of the pens, and the complete lack of information on how to care for them. The largest nib has serious problems with ink flow - there's only one cap for the three nibs, but no information on if you can leave cartridges in them/switching cartridges. I found myself googling looking for information that should have been included.

Also the guidebook that comes with the pens and markers is lacking at best. All of the information inside could be found with a quick google. This kit is for serious beginners only if you think you're going to want to do any quality work you want something a little bit more advanced.

Some of the ink cartridges were all dried up. However, the book is good.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not comprehensive, but a way to get started, Oct 17 2008
By Luxist "media junkie" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Calligraphy Kit: Learn the Art of Beautiful Writing (Hardcover)
I bought this because I wanted an inexpensive way to try out calligraphy. I know it's all about practice, so I didn't want to sink too much money into it before I'd stuck with it any time. I had a difficult time finding calligraphy pens online--I wanted the cheapest thing I could find, but the shipping made everything uneconomical. This seemed to be the best value around, with the pens, 'practice pad', and book.

PROS:
Variety of pens. Three fountain pens with different nubs, several ink cartridges in different colors, and two colored felt markers.

Guide book has clear breakdown of upper- & lowercase letters' strokes, numbered and spaced a little apart on one page, and as they should appear on your paper on the facing page.

CONS:
There is only one ruled page to practice on, and it's glossy and looks unpleasant to write on. The other pages are totally unlined & blank. I find it easier to just practice in a notebook.

Pens are not super high-quality, but seem sufficient for getting started.

I didn't find the information I wanted on the first glance through the book. The book is nice & concise, but sometimes I'd like just a little more info.

Instructions were "ok" but 2 of the pens did not work and the black marker was dried up.
