B3435. About More Alphabets: The Types of Hermann Zapf by Jerry Kelly with a foreword by Robert Bringhurst.
2011. 112pp. 4.5"x7". Hardcover $35.00
In 1960, the Typophiles published a now-treasured chapbook on Hermann Zapf ’s metal faces. More than
50 years later, this new volume brings you up-to-date, presenting a selection of his major alphabet design
projects. Even as letterforms have changed from metal to phototype to digital, Zapf has continued to produce
exceptional typefaces – most drawing from pen-made forms. The book is filled with type drawings and trials and
other illustrations, some rarely seen. Reserve your copy of this finely-printed letter art treasure designed by Jerry
Kelly. (As a used book, the first Zapf chapbook can command $100 or more.)

ZENTANGLE®
Calligraphers and graphic artists find
tangling particularly appealing. It is a
relaxing and expressive art form. It is
guided doodling using texture & pattern and is meditative. It will help you
learn to focus, relax your mind, and
can boost your creative confidence. But
beware – this is highly addictive fun.
3.5"x3.5" squares of art paper provide the surface. Artist Trading Card
blanks work too. Pigma Micron pens
make drawing the tangles simple and
permanent, but other fine line pens or
a pencil can be used. These intriguing
patterns all begin with simple lines; the
spaces are filled in, one step at a time.
There are no mistakes, only opportunities. Every tangle becomes more
attractive and complex as areas are
filled. Like life, the designs develop into
something unique and beautiful as
they grow.

BR12. Rekab #5. Actual size.
John Stevens uses these round ferrule, chisel-edge Rekab
brushes for smaller Roman lettering as well as for a variety
of other styles. John uses these along with flat ferrule chisel
edged brushes for his brush lettering. These quality sable
brushes, imported from Israel, with proper care will last
for 20 years or more. These are called “Showcard” or “One
Stroke Brushes.” They are more versatile than flat ferrule,
chisel edge brushes, but take a bit more skill to use. John
recommends the #5 to start with. For a wider range of sizes,
he suggests adding the #3 & #7.
Rapheal Kolinsky. These round watercolor bushes are
handmade with the finest Kolinsky Red Sable. Multiple 8
hair lengths ensure tightest possible point and a full

This bestselling archival sheet is now even better.
Easy to write on and a little thicker than most text
weight papers, it is great for certificates and one-off
pieces. A paper you will use again & again. Give it a
try. The New Diploma Parchment is a warm beige
(off-white) and recommended by Vivian Mungall. The
old Diploma Parchment was a yellowish cream. “This
paper is beautiful. When I first put my pen on this paper
I was amazed at how lovely it is, much better than the
old Diploma Parchment. I like how the paper gilds and
takes paint, and the paper takes ink beautifully. There
is no feathering or bleeding. I recommend it. It is a nice
weight and is also fine for handmade books.” –

Except as noted, all these papers have been chosen for their
suitability for broad edge calligraphy. Which side is the
right side to write on? The side that takes the ink the best.
On laid finish papers, one side will be smoother than the
other. Experiment. If you experience slight bleeding, try
sumi ink or gouache on the same paper.
BEGINNERS: Try the inexpensive Ingres papers.
Diploma Parchment is also a good bet. If you have a client
that wants a 100% cotton sheet, Arches Watercolor HP is
especially pen friendly.
PRACTICE ON FINE PAPER?!?
A number of instructors recommend this. Why? If you only
practice on practice paper, you only become accomplished
at practice. Instead, think of writing on fine paper. Think
of your practice always as finished pieces. You become
focused in your practice – finished pieces are only more
practice!
SHIPPING: Because we can’t ship these large sheets with
other books and supplies, we charge a separate paper shipping charge. See “PAPER ORDERING INFORMATION.”
Paper Ordering Information
Because of their large size, sheets of paper cannot be combined with book/supply orders for shipping. Only large

supplies & figure the shipping on those. Then total the
cost of the paper sheets & add Paper Shipping.

Additional charge of $2.00 for PHONED IN ORDERS
under $20 that include large sheets of paper.
Add $7.50 for orders to $30.00

and none to erase. For practice paper and other thinner

material. Most of our guidelines consist of sheets of
equally spaced lines.

guidelines printed on thick 11"x17" paper. Includes one
sheet for Copperplate. Use with or without a light box.

she highly recommends this book: "This is a particularly good book, with many great examples and great
illustrations." It provides sequential steps for painting
100 different flowers, from simple to fairly complex,
along with finished paintings. Does not cover the basics

Fountain Pen Inks
For FOUNTAIN PENS, use only inks that say on the
bottle that they are for use in fountain pens. Dye inks
(such as Pelikan 4001) flow dependably and are good for
correspondence and roughs. Though waterproof, Calli is
designed for fountain pens. Unless the bottle says an ink is
suitable for fountain pens (not technical pens), it may clog
your fountain pen and ruin it.

Spencerian is an American
style of penmanship. The lower
case has only a few stressed
strokes in a word. In copperplate, every down stroke is
thickened by applying pressure
to the pen. Spencerian Script can be written
with more speed than copperplate. Spencerian
originated in Ohio in the 1860s with Platt Roger
Spencer. The DVD’s 15 chapters include instruction and demonstration of all the letters of the
alphabet, hand positions and correct posture,
practice exercises, writing angles and letter sizes,
oblique pen holders & pen points, practical tips
for envelopes and pen flourishes.

Copperplate / Spencerian Supplies
Copperplate and Spencerian have gained in popularity
as calligraphers expand their repertoire of letterforms.
The thicks & thins are caused by varying the pressure
on a flexible point – a worthwhile discipline to learn. All
calligraphy, as Lloyd Reynolds noted, is a series of movements involving touch.
To learn Copperplate or Spencerian, order the Copperplate Kit (page 56) or the Spencerian Kit (page
51). After you have some experience, order the nib
sampler to try out the range of nibs.
BEGINNERS: The most popular nibs are Brause
66EF, Gillott 303, Hiro #40, Hunt 101, Nikko G, and
Zebra G.
Righthanders will need an oblique pen holder.
Lefthanders use either a straight holder or an oblique
holder. All will need a bottle of Higgins Eternal (I08,
$4.20), which is improved by the addition of 10 or 20
drops of Gum Arabic (I84, $12.59).

Mastering Copperplate Calligraphy (B1109, $14.95)
by Eleanor Winters is a good book for beginners. In the
book, Eleanor recommends the Gillott 404 & Gillott
303. Denys Taipale always taught copperplate with
Brause 66EF nibs and Higgins Eternal with Gum Arabic. Other teachers opt for a stiffer nib for beginners.
In her excellent article on pointed nibs in Bound &
Lettered (TAB2.4, $8.50), Caroline Paget Leake notes
that Gillott 404 and Hunt 56 are sturdy and durable,
making them excellent for student practice.
For Spencerian, Michael Sull recommends the Hunt
22, Hunt 56, Nikko G, along with Hunt 101, Hunt 99
and the Gillott 404.
Pointed nibs (also called pen points) are of various
sizes and don’t all fit in the same holders. The Ziller
Oblique Holders are already adjusted for specific nibs.
You may need to adjust the Century and Zanerian
Oblique Holders. The Blackwell Oblique Holders work
with almost all nibs.
Nibs/Points
Pointed nibs vary greatly in the design, sharpness,
fineness of line, & flexibility. Experiment with a variety
to find the ones you like the best. Our assortments let

ULTRASONIC CLEANER
S759
S759. Blazer Ultrasonic
Cleaner. Use for nibs, fountain
pens, and brushes. Dried ink will
float right off nibs and from the
tiniest spaces in fountain pen
assemblies. Michael Sull finds that
his pointed nibs last 3 times as long.
No special cleaner is needed. Use tap water alone, or if
you have a particularly dirty item, add a drop or two of
dish detergent. This small, sturdy unit uses the same
powerful ultrasonic cleaning as larger, more expensive
models. $80.00
Michael Sull on Spencerian Materials:
PEN POINTS: For beginners Michael highly recommends the Nikko G Nib and Hunt 56. He also recommends Hunt 22, EF Principal, along with Hunt 101,
Hunt 99, and Gillott 404.
INK: Higgins Eternal (I08, $3.75) will work fine and
is improved by a little evaporation. For finest hairlines,
Michael recommends McCaffrey’s Black Penman's
Ink (I37, $6.50), as well as the colors, page 45. By addP31. Ampad Evidence Pastel Pad. Recommended for ing a little Higgins Eternal to Bokuju Vermillion (I23,
