Amanda from GRS sent me a link to this site which has online books pertaining to penmanship and lettering. This is some of the best material I've ever seen. Truly spectacular! I'm not sure if it's allowed, but these scans would be worth saving if it's ok.

There's some good stuff in those scans. It's a wonder Dover didn't republish some of those. A lot of those would be great to have as computer fonts.

More Treasure

There's more Treasure out there. See http://www.iampeth.com/index.htm for more than you ever wanted to know about lettering. The short Video on the Compound Curve is pretty impressive.
