Best book around for improving handwriting, Mar 15 2010
By Liz - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Teach Yourself Better Handwriting, Third Edition (Paperback)
First of all, this is not a calligraphy book. It is a great resource for anyone who wants to improve their handwriting to make it readable and appealing. What you won't find here are exercises of the sort from those old Palmer Handwriting manuals. This is a much more practical approach.For anyone who has to do a lot of note-taking, or who just wants to pen a handwritten note or letter, this book provides plenty of exercises to help to make your handwriting legible. There's a sample alphabet to learn the sequence of strokes and to adapt to your own hand. What I also found most useful was an exercise specifically to help join letters together. That alone was worth the price of the book.
All in all, putting these exercises to use over a period of time will help make your handwriting attractive and help to perpetuate a lost art/skill.

An excellent book, July 25 2011

This review is from: Teach Yourself Better Handwriting, Third Edition (Paperback)
As a teacher, I'm in one of the few professions where I handwrite for others to read daily. Like many poor handwriters, I used only printing instead of cursive. This book helped me relearn a cursive that was simple and fast. It's made a huge difference!The most liberating idea in this book was that not every letter has to join up. The other big insight the author had was that it's better to practice actual words and common letter sequences, rather than writing the alphabet over and over.
I expected to hate and feel humiliated by working on my handwriting, but this book made it fun.

Not as useful as I had hoped., Dec 29 2010

This review is from: Teach Yourself Better Handwriting, Third Edition (Paperback)
I had some time off work and really wanted to develop my penmanship. I've always had terrible handwriting and with Christmas cards going out soon, I wanted to add a nice personal touch. Unfortunately, this book didn't deliver. The author gives you plenty of case studies with before and after handwriting samples, but only briefly mentions how she worked with the person to achieve the results. There is very little in the way of exercises for you to do yourself.If there were more exercises I would be unhappy with the size of the book, as a pocket sized guide is hard to work out of, but there was precious little to work on.
