Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This book...I mean, you look at it and think, how hard can this be to convey? But it does not give you any more instruction than "aren't these cool? Let's try some!" leaving out a lot of important troubleshooting steps. In reality, hand lettering is really difficult at first, and it's better to start with basic shapes (instead of jumping right into letters, which this book does) and practice those umpteen times. Like others have said, you don't get more than a couple lines for each letter. After fiddling with this book, I went to YouTube and found some comprehensive tutorials and free, printable worksheets with lots of good advice, especially for navigating tricky shapes. Don't buy this if you're a beginner, unless you want to risk being discouraged and giving up.
