I bought two books by this author, interested in calligraphy and taken in by the misleading covers. Both of them are mostly text with a few simple black and white line drawings of nibs and other materials. May be useful for those who are complete beginners who can tolerate a book full of very basic information without actually seeing any real examples of illumination. Extremely disappointed. If you could see either of these books by this author in person and flip through them, you'd never buy either one.
Nice addition to Illumination collection.
