Not for kids
I just received my "Write Now" workbooks. I ordered two - one each for my twin 8 year old boys.Their handwriting is deplorable.The books are great but not for young children, IMO. However, I do intend to use one for myself.My handwriting is deplorable and I can certainly see it helping me.It's a great product but just not what I expected (buyer error).

If only I could hand-write this review for you... :)
I was taught a combination of Palmer and Zaner-Bloser penmanship growing up, both of which are looped cursive styles, both of which were terribly hard to learn, slow to use, and lead to painful hand cramping.After becoming a fountain pen enthusiast as an adult, I learned that looped cursive was actually developed for movable type printing presses.Its primary design criteria was to minimize the variation between joins, so that fewer different movable type pieces were needed.

Getty-Dubay cursive italic, by contrast, was designed to be hand-written.I bought a copy of the book and began tracing practice using photocopies of the pages (so as not to ruin the book).Within a week of carefully progressing through the lessons a little at a time, I found that I wrote much faster and more legibly than before, and writing no longer made my hands and wrists hurt, even after writing pages in a sitting.I can't say enough about how much more I enjoy writing, and how much easier it is now, after the lessons in this book.

Hope for those whose handwriting can't be read.
Here's the "how to" for those willing to put the effort into improving their handwriting---and it is the shortest, clearest, easiest way to do it.

I (!) wrote that ?!
This book really turned my handwriting around.

I've been plagued by poor handwriting all my life, and though I've practiced and drilled my cursive for years, nothing seemed to make it legible.I would *often* have to re-write short one-sentence notes on PostIts several times so that they could be read.Without word processing, I would be almost completely a verbal-communication-only person.But personally and professionally, my handwriting needs to be legible, so I went looking for a solution, and, in large part based on the reviews in Amazon, got this book.

When I got the book, I worked on it for a couple of hours and saw improvement so rapid and noticeable, I charged on through most of the drills in the book in six days. The constant improvement was so noticeable, I was highly motivated to push through.I am still practicing on speed, and some of the more uncommon changes between letters, but I am more, far more, than satisfied with the result. And, yes, people can read my writing.

Here are what I think are some of the key points I found helpful --

1.The authors point out that the style of writing most of us learned in grade school (with lots of loops, with a capital "Q" that looks like a "2" etc.) was NOT designed for handwriting -- it was designed for engraving.The style of writing taught in this book removes the excess loops and squiggles and reduces the strokes to a near minimum.Note, however, that the style being taught is not new--it has been used for centuries (both my parents used it in their many handwritten letters).

2. In some cases, where transitions between letters might be difficult (like following a "w" with an "e") the book often give different ways to do it. For me, the worst of the worst of my problems in writing was how to get from an "r"to another letter without making the "r" look like something else.Among the solutions the authors offer to this particular problem was this (which I chose): lift your pen off after the "r" and start the next letter.How simple! And it works! (with respect to my harried writing teachers of long ago, I don't recall that this was ever given as an option, or that there were options).

3. The book is meant to be written in (the authors tell you so) and there are pages of drills, including many paragraphs of sample to practice mimicing as you practice.There are also specially lined pages for use in practice that the authors give permission to copy for your practicing, which helped, as the needs of my drilling went well beyond the available pages in the book.

4. There was a paragraph written in the style at the beginning of the book, and I could see how simple, readable, and beautiful it was. I could see immediately that it was an attainable goal.

Grand job, Ms. Getty and Ms. Dubay.

Good book, poor choice of binding
Overall, I really like the hints and tips written in the book, as well as the generous amount of room given to practice.One major drawback, however, was how they bound the book.Given that it is one you are expected to write in, a regular paperback binding was a bad choice because it is difficult to write in the closer you get to the binding.Spiral bound or the like would have made this 5 stars easy.

When I get the chance, I am going to photocopy the pages for ease of writing and I know that will make it better.Other than the minor inconvenience, I think it is helping my writing quite a bit.I can't wait to see the transition at the end.(The book opens with a section for you to write a sample sentence and asks you to do the same when you finish). ...

“Florey writes with verve.”—Slate.com

“Florey . . . rattles off crackling prose in a no-nonsense voice.”—The San Diego Union-Tribune

Steeped in the Palmer Method of handwriting she learned in Catholic school, Kitty Burns Florey is a self-confessed “penmanship nut” who loves the act of taking pen to paper. So when she discovered that schools today forego handwriting drills in favor of teaching something called keyboarding, it gave her pause: “There is a widespread belief that, in a digital world, forming letters on paper with a pen is pointless and obsolete,” she says, “and anyone who thinks otherwise is right up there with folks who still have fallout shelters in their backyards.”

Florey tackles the importance of writing by hand and its place in our increasingly electronic society in this fascinating exploration of the history of handwriting. Weaving together the evolution of writing implements and scripts, pen collecting societies, the golden age of American penmanship, the growth in popularity of handwriting analysis, and the pockets of aficionados who still prefer scribbling on paper to tapping on keys, she poses the question: Is writing by hand really no longer necessary in today’s busy world?

Kitty Burns Florey is the author of Sister Bernadette’s Barking Dog: The Quirky History and Lost Art of Diagramming Sentences. A veteran copy editor, she has also written nine novels and many short stories and essays. She lives in central Connecticut with her husband, Ron Savage.

Very Readable Book About a Lovable Endangered Species
Full disclosure---when I bought this book, shortly after it came out, I was so taken with it I wrote the author a fan letter. She immediately filed a restraining order against me, and I was legally constrained from sending her any more mail.No, no, no, just kidding!She wrote back---a handwritten letter, needless to say---and we have corresponded since, But she does not have any idea I'm posting this review.Certainly she did not ask me to write it, nor would she have.

Will handwriting survive?It is not hard to imagine a day in the not-overly-distant future, when penilliteracy--I made that term up---will be rampant across the land.As it is today, I suspect lots of people use handwriting only when they are required to sign a legal document.They don't write checks anymore, because of debit cards and online banking.So, for a lot of people, handwritinghas become analogous to singing. A century ago, people sang a lot more---in church, in community gatherings, or around the piano at home with family and friends. But now we tend much more to associate music with recorded music, and the participatory element has diminished.And because people don't sing much, they get out of practice, and on about the only remaining occasion on which we still do---a birthday party---people often sound dreadful, and very self-conscious. ( I know I do.)And people are that way about their handwriting.They don't have to use a pen, so their handwriting deteriorates, to the point where they are terribly embarrassed when other people see their ungainly scrawl.That embarrassment is a hopeful sign to me, because it signifies that people still feel having good, legible penmanship is something to be valued.

Next time you go into an antique store, thumb through the boxfuls of old postcards.You'll discover that beautiful penmanship eighty and ninety years ago was not a gift bestowed upon the few.You'll see lovely script on every card. And they had to contend with quirky nibs and bottles of ink!I believe anybody who wishes to improve his or her handwriting is capable of doing it, with help from a class in calligraphy, or perhaps a software program.The question is whether the interest in having good handwriting skills will ever resurge; maybe it will not.Few people are nostalgic today for the days when you had to make your own soap, and maybe in time handwriting will fade altogether.

Kitty Burns Florey is a graceful writer, and frequently funny, and her book is hardly a starchy schoolmarmish finger-wagger.She makes good handwriting sound very cool, and very desirable.Which I certainly have long felt.If you've read this review this far you are probably going to enjoy this spirited and informative book.

Very Pleasant Read
This is really a very short work on the subject lasting some 190pp including the credits.

The writer is humorous and displays a wealth of knowledge on the subject and makes you want to read on while talking about subject matter that many would find only boring; yet I found interesting UNTIL the last chapter.It is as if another person wrote that or some editor suggested that this short volume be lengthened to give it more meat or a broader point in keeping with the subject matter. I saw little if any point to the last chapter and would liken it to a name dropper at a cocktail party.Lots of names, light fluff and very little substance to the conversation.But I would still buy the book, for its free flowing manner, less the last chapter.One can easily finish it in two evenings as I did.I would say the book contains little of anything you NEED to know, but A LOT OF THINGS that are fun to know and contemplate.And yes it will be more beneficial to those of an age to have benefited from the Palmerian school of handwriting.I doubt that any of the millenial generation would find it that enthralling, even though it does have a myriad of pictures and drawings to help sustain their interest.Buy the book and enjoy it, simply skip the last chapter.Your life will still feel just as fulfilled as before!

The Write Stuff
Dr. Izzie Stevens on Grey's Anatomy says penmanship saves lives. "Is that a 7 or a 9? If I have to ask myself that in the middle of an emergency, your patient is dead. You killed him with your handwriting." The most deadly medical instrument is a pen.

The author says penmanship used to be taught for two hours a week in elementary school. Now it is down to 45 minutes. Only 12 percent of teachers feel their education courses prepared them for teaching handwriting. If people who can't count were teaching math, it would be on 60 Minutes. No one suggested calculators mean we don't have to teach kids to add. Why should typewriters/computers cease teaching writing?
What happened to pen pals?

Like snowflakes, fingerprints and faces, no two hands are alike. Writing is a form of self presentation, uniqueness and creativity.

Try to go a day without writing anything down. You can't sit down and reread a phone call.

Journaling is recommended for healing, grieving, recovering, spirituality, stress management, fun, discipline and publication. How will people learn to do this anymore?

Whoever thought there were this many types of pens that she mentions: ballpoints, fountain, rollerballs, fine and superfine and bold points, micro points, needle points, gel pens, felt-tips, highlighters, comfort grips, non-slip grips, rubber grips, precision grips, classic grips, airplane-safe pens (won't leak), water-resistant pens, fade-resistant pens, pens specially formulated to prevent fraud, latex-free pens, go-anywhere pens (clip it, hang it, wear it), erasable pens, expandable pens, pens with built-in highlighters, won't bleed through paper pens, permanent markers, washable markers, china markers, click pencils, pencils that support breast cancer research, refillable pens, never-need-sharpening pencils, drafting pencils, anti-microbial pencils, scented pencils...

There is even a pen that can be used to sign autographs at a distance.

Let's celebrate on Jan. 23--National Handwriting Day. Write a recipe or a letter.

Thank you for the reminder!

Light, Learned and a Delight to Read
By Bill Marsano. In the New York Times' daily crossword puzzle of July 3, the clue for 37 Across (seven letters) was "Calligraphy, some say." It was one of the last answers I filled in: "Lost Art." I hate to admit it, but it's true. And now here's Kitty Burns Florey to tell us some marvelous things about well, not calligraphy, exactly, but the plain and simple act of writing by hand with pen or pencil. Like me, she grew up in Catholic schools and was schooled in a writing style called the Palmer Method (she remains loyal; I have defected long since), so the subject is personal to her. To that she has added research and her own grace as a writer. The result is this absorbing, captivating and anecdotal book.

Along the nicely illustrated way we learn plenty of interesting things. Who'd have thought that in early 18th Century London a clerk or a contractor would write so fine a hand that his bill "for work and materials" on a house in Tower Hill would be a thing of beauty in itself, preserved and admired to this day? Who'd have thought that the beautiful writing by commoners would spark a backlash amongst the upper crust, who would distinguish themselves from lesser folk by scribbling as sloppily as possible? That Copperplate, Spencerian and Palmer method were all "scientific" styles, distinct and replete with rules, rules, rules not only about the shapes of letters but proper posture for the writer and whence must come the light source?

As a professional writer I am bound to my computer--even as I compose this review--as once I was to the typewriter, but still I write with a fountain pen every day (Parker Duofold, italic nib) and have a dozen other back-up pens. I use them all from time to time, to sign checks and letters, and especially to address envelopes. Here's why: everybody gets junk mail, and it'sobviously junk. But suppose that in your daily stack you were to see an envelope that was just as obviously addressed by hand, by a real person? You'd open it first, of course. Lost art though it may be, calligraphy still counts in some places. Thank-you and sympathy notes must be hand-written. Some people even hire calligraphers to address invitations because the touch of a human hand means so much. (There are numerous computer typefaces that mimic handwriting. don't even dream of them. They are pathetic. )

And so I recommend this book even as I forgive Ms. Florey for being a copy editor and for paying insufficient attention to Chancery Cursive, even as I recommend that you but this book and invest ten bucks more in a Sheaffer Mini Calligraphy Kit (also available from Amazon) so you can, after just a little practice, see what PERSONAL expression looks like.--Bill Marsano is an award-winning writer on travel, wine and spirits.

History, art, and self-expression at your fingertips
If you lament the decline of handwriting, //Script & Scribble// provides thoughtful validity to your concerns. But it's also a celebration of the artistry and intellect in handwriting. Florey covers the evolution of handwriting from the Sumerians to the ubiquitous urban graffiti. She includes the historical development of writing implements from the ancient stylus to the ballpoint pen. She takes what some consider a boring topic on an ailing craft and makes it respectable, creative, and lighthearted. To get the most from this book, you need at least a mild interest in history, art, or trivia. I found it fascinating, but then, I would sit enthralled through a Ben Stein lecture on the history of almost anything.

Right or wrong, there was a time when people were judged harshly by their handwriting. Many believed the mind was trained through the discipline of the hand. Florey shares the styles and beliefs of handwriting masters whose patience and creativity were esteemed. But as civilization advanced, the tension between flashy and functional writing increased. I agree with Florey that receiving a handwritten note is a pleasure; for handwriting is near the heart. I am also grateful for the book's demonstrations that helped improve my handwriting.

Useful for Deciphering Old Documents
I was having problems deciphering the handwriting on a Will from 1809 but the alphabet on page 33 and the example on page 34 solved all my problems. An interesting little book in more ways than one, and very helpful in my situation.

A wonderful reprint
I'm no calligrapher.That said, I've a deep love and appreciation for penmanship and also for reading and learning about antique script hands.This short work by one of the greatest engravers and calligraphers ever is a wonderful read, a fun way to practice penmanship (as an advanced study)and a rich (if by no means comprehensive) source of samples for persons interested in 18th Century engraving, handwriting and calligraphy.

I can't imagine recommending this little book to beginners.For one thing, Copperplate (the writing hand of the 18th Century)is not a hand most people learn in grade school and use as kids.Thankfully, there is a real revival of interest in Copperplate scripts and for those of us who are already trying their hand at Copperplate, and perhaps working with some other calligraphic scripts, this book is quite a good resource -- one of two by Mr. Bickham reproduced by Dover Publications.

Not a calligraphy manual, but...
...still an enjoyable read for the price.

A good portion of the writing samples included in Mr. Bickham's book were not, in fact, considered calligraphy in their time, but rather to exemplify legible and easy styles of business hand, intended, as per the book's subtitle, for clerks and others whose jobs necessitated a good deal of writing and record-keeping, prior to the era of the typewriter.To the reviewer who complained of the cursive scripts being illegible, try reading handwritten cursive a bit more often; the scripts do retain certain archaisms such as the extended S, but are not significantly different from, for instance, the Spencerian system of cursive penmanship, which dominated American schools throughout the 19th century.If you want illegible (to the modern reader's eye) calligraphy, try picking your way through an illuminated medieval manuscript.

That said, this caveat must be included: this book does -not- give explicit instruction on how to reproduce the styles, it is merely a collection of the best samples-- it's best for those who already have some grasp of some form of calligraphy or antiquated penmanship.For those -looking- to learn, I would recommend Theory of Spencerian Penmanship as a starting point, at the very least.For those who have no interest in taking up calligraphy and merely enjoy looking at elegant handwriting, it's a delightful curiosity and memento of the vanished culture of penmanship; much of the writing samples given are quite simply beautiful to look at; though this particular calligraphy enthusiast would hope that admiration of beautiful writing would spur more people to take up interest in a now-esoteric art.

Penmanship Made Easy -- Not!
I have trouble calling this a book. It's a bound collection of calligraphy, and not very good calligraphy at that. Many letters are unreadable. Penmanship should be to help communicate by written word. This book is not helpful unless you're experienced with calligraphy.

Fine examples of formal handwriting in the 1700's
Mr. Bickham was an 18th century engraver and calligrapher. Although the book (orignally published ca 1733) begins with a set of rules on how to form letters, these rules and the book's examples are best studied by anexperienced calligrapher. This is NOT a beginner's book. But it isdelightful for those who like to examine the formal hands of nearly threecenturies ago. The examples are not just alphabets but writing samples.Fancy "Content alone is true happiness; or the Country Lass"? Howabout "Beauty's a Fair But Fading Flower"? There are manycalligraphic examples from copperplate to blackhand. As the gentlelmansays, everything the "young clerk's assistant" might need. ... Read more

Product Description
In this engaging history, Tamara Plakins Thornton traces handwriting in America from colonial times to the present. Exploring such subjects as penmanship pedagogy, handwriting analysis, autograph collecting, handwriting experts, and calligraphy revivals, Thornton investigates the shifting functions and meanings of handwriting, showing, for example, how it came to be linked with individual identity and how in our times handwriting reflects a nostalgia for the past and a rejection of modernity.Amazon.com Review
It's so common to think of individual handwriting asdistinctive that it's a surprise to learn that the notion of uniquehandwriting was unthinkable in America's colonial past. People learneda particular script, such as Court Hand or Round Hand, that reflectedtheir gender, occupation, and status in life. A history of handwritingmight seem like an obscure, academic subject, but this entertainingbook smashes that assumption. Reading the story of how handwritingdeveloped in the United States and its importance in society, may make youthink twice about your penmanship the next time you pick up a pen. ... Read more

Handwriting in America: A Cultural History
An interesting book, but it should have been titled "The Teaching of Handwriting in America".Also, it missed a kind of writing which I can't name, but know when I see it - for example, something like "California" on California auto license tags.It was taught in America, and it was the model in England for many years - a Life magazine article around 1950 showed such examples from the winners in an English schoolboy competition. (My father learned this style in a preparatory school in the South in the early 1900s, and one of our daughters-in-law was taught the same way.)
One reviewer adversely criticized this book for harping on, perhaps even imagining, sexism in the early teaching of handwriting, and I don't think the comment was deserved - I believe the author was accurately describing what was actually taught, and gave it no more space than is warranted. ...

Lots of talk, well, not so much help
This book mainly tells you how to write quickly, cursively and legibly, if your former handwriting is slow, separate and illegible. Some common senses such as that you must write in relaxed mood and hand position, may be of help. However, if you are already a neat writer and aim at adding some artistic touch to your handwriting, no useful advice can be found in this book. Therefore, I think, that is the reason why this book is entitled "better" handwriting instead of "nice" handwriting.

And, one thing I do not like in this book is, the authors' instructions are just too wordy.

Hard to read on how to write
I found the book very technical and hard to penetrate, I just wanted to get down to the bottom line of how to improve handwriting, with practical guidelines, and this book wasn't very helpful.

Common sense advice leads to quick improvement.
I have always reveled in my eccentric handwriting. As my academic career progressed, I was writing less and less for other people, mostly just class notes for myself, and I made little attempt to write legibly. I was theonly one who could read my increasingly "individual" penmanshipunless I made a great effort to write clearly.Finally, though, I hadtrouble puzzling out my own handwriting at times, and I realized somethinghad to be done.I had come to admire those with clear handwriting, and Iwanted to develop a quick, readable hand.

This book agrees with adviceI've found in several sources: the italic alphabet is attractive and easyto write, the distinction between printing and handwriting is artificial,and the torturous cursive script we're taught in elementary school doesmost students more harm than good.Though the book does not require strictadherence to their italic model, I like it quite a bit, and I'm happy tointegrate it into my own hand.

Within minutes of beginning the simplestexercises I realized I'd been holding the pen wrong for as long as I canremember!Changing my grip required some awkward retraining, but once Iadapted I realized that, for me, the traditional grip lends itself to morenatural and comfortable motions, and my fountain pens work better, too!Ifit doesn't work for you, though, another grip is discussed.

This is anexcellent example of how the book works.It is not about changing yourwriting to the one correct way.It shows you how to experiment to find thebest way for you personally to write.This doesn't mean your handwritingwill improve without any effort on your part, but I've found the exercisesrelaxing, almost meditative.It's difficult to face each new challenge,fumbling to find a way to form the letters properly, but once I've foundthe way and practice it for a few half-hour sessions, the new methodappears in my casual handwriting.I'm very pleased by the increase in thelegibility and attractiveness of my handwriting.I don't have toconcentrate anymore to write better; with practice my penmanship hasimproved naturally.

My only problem with the book is that it's a littletoo vague.I like being able to choose the exercises most relevant to myown writing problems, but some more advice on how to practice would benice, like "Do one page of Exercise A, then 15 lines of Exercise L,then go on to Exercise M for ten minutes."I realize that differentwriters will have different needs, but I'm not sure sometimes if I'm doingtoo little of one thing and not enough of another--though I'm getting abetter feel for that as I go along.

I highly recommend this book toanyone who feels their handwriting needs improvement.Better handwritingwill make life easier in a lot of ways!

Really had an impact
I recently started collecting fountain pens.To do my collection justice I needed to improve my handwriting.This book did more than teach me how to write better, it taught me to discover and create a personal character in my writing.The practice sessions returned a sense of controlimmediately.For the first time in my life I actually got complements onmy penmanship.I continue to tweek things here and there and my fountainpens are most appreciative.

Better Handwriting
I ordered this book to improve my penmanship. The results were no less than wonderful. In less than 3 days my writing had improve tremendously.What I like most about this book, along with the price of course, is theoptions that it gives you in writing techniques. I also liked that theauthor gives an understanding of why one may have difficulty in with theirwriting in the first place. I generally felt that good penmanship reflecteda person who was deliberate and careful.This book shows that there ismore than attitude involved here, there are basic mechanics to goodpenmanship that we were not shown in grade school.
