This review is from: The Technique of Copperplate Calligraphy: A Manual and Model Book of the Pointed Pen Method (Paperback)
This book is good for the price. The examples could be better. I've seen great examples from other teachers. It is worth the money invested and a good, starter for people who want to learn copperplate or engrosser's script.

Elegant, good value, full of helpful advice and examples,

This review is from: The Technique of Copperplate Calligraphy: A Manual and Model Book of the Pointed Pen Method (Paperback)
I love using this book for several reasons. The entire text is gracefully handwritten in Copperplate by this Master Penman. He has a very beautiful, elegant style and technically impressive nib control.The book was published in 1987 and the author born in 1915, at the tail end of the `old-world', when Spencerian and Copperplate scripts were more widely practiced and enjoyed. I like the fact that he must have been about 70 years old when he prepared this work, making his steady hand, smooth and fluid hairlines all the more notable. An aspect I particularly value and enjoy is that, unlike some Copperplate books where every stroke is absolutely perfect, this work is presented unretouched. As such it is far more 'human' and shows me what I can realistically aspire to. Elegant, very useful, great value for money, highly recommended! 11 of 11 people found the following review helpful

Another Source for Letter Forms,
By Debbie Campbell - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Technique of Copperplate Calligraphy: A Manual and Model Book of the Pointed Pen Method (Paperback)
If you're trying to learn Copperplate calligraphy, I don't recommend this as your first book. Instead, Eleanor Winters' Mastering Copperplate Calligraphy is a much better tool for self-study. However, once you master the material in Winters' book, you might find the Technique of Copperplate Calligraphy to be a good source for additional examples of letter forms, especially capitals.
