The second edition of this popular 8 1/2 X 11", 24-page manual by William A. Bostick gives a short summary of the 31,000 year history of writing. It then presents the basic shapes and letter connections of Italic Handwriting, also known as Chancery Cursive, as written first with the ballpoint pen and then with a stub-point calligraphy pen.

A Sheaffer Calligraphy Fountain Pen and a Ballpoint Pen are Included!


The student writes over the author's calligraphy, printed in light blue, and then repeats the letters and words on his own.

After this introduction to the basic letter shapes, the student graduates to the same procedure with the included Sheaffer Calligraphy Fountain Pen which makes the beautiful thick and thin strokes of Renaissance writing which was the handwriting of Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Erasmus, Elizabeth I and other Renaissance greats.

The author has used this method of instruction very successfully in his 35 years of teaching and in the other two manuals he has published. They have sold over 12,000 copies and he has personally taught over a thousand students.
