I look forward to using this as a reference. My one complaint is that the practice pages seem impractical since the book binding prevents them from laying flat.

Kaunis kirja inspiraatioksi. Kalligrafiasta kiinnostuneen kannattaa hankkia oma hyllyyn, jota voi harjoitella ajan kanssa.

This was a pretty mediocre overview without actually teaching much of anything. I feel like it was the book version of a Pinterest board with craft ideas.

Creatief Handletteren & meer exists of four different parts, all written by different authors. Each author has her own lettering speciality to talk about. The first part is about traditional calligraphy, the second about illustrating letters. Next up is a chapter about chalk board letters and last is a chapter about creative lettering techniques. The difference in authors is really noticeable between each chapter, as they all have different materials they use and a different way to illustrate their chapter.
Having this many authors and subjects in a quite short book (144p) means every author only has a small space to talk about her subject. Some information also gets repeated by a couple of the authors, while they leave a lot of other information untouched. This makes this book a short and inspiring introduction to lettering, but don't expect a lot of in dept information.
Read my complete review & discover the illustrations I made inspired by the book. :)

Nice introductory primer on lettering, though I would have personally liked to see more techniques and fonts than the projects. Some of the projects, like the watercolor tags, were neat, but I would have liked to see more instruction. I liked that this showed different ways to decorate fonts and the examples used. This was a library book so I couldn't use the practice pages, but they were a nice touch.
