A Handbook of Early Arabic Kufic Script: Reading, Writing, Calligraphy, Typography, Monograms Review: Excellent - This book is tremendous. The author explains and illustrates each stroke of each letter. He gives the nuanced mechanics of forming each stroke, down to the pen rotation. I do not think there is any other book about the Kufic script--even in Arabic--that is this clear and detailed. In fact, the are few books about __any__ script that are as useful as this one. Additionally, this book has a fascinating gallery of historical examples of Kufic script. Review: Massive disappointment - Very very low quality binding and print , I thought I bought the hardcover version, but when desertcart advertised to buy another book by the same author for what thought was discount it didn’t mention that I was for this cheap photocopy bootleg softcover edition. I believe that hardcover will also be a huge disappointment for however buys it.
