Speedball's classic textbook, long loved by those learning calligraphy and lettering. This is the 26th and latest edition.
Since its first edition in 1915, "The Speedball Textbook" has supported the world of calligraphy for over 100 years. This book introduces a wide range of content, including beautiful alphabet exemplars in various scripts, works by contemporary calligraphers and lettering artists, and explanations of techniques.
Its appeal lies in its exploration of diverse letter expressions, from traditional calligraphy to modern lettering. It can be enjoyed not only as a reference for actual practice but also as an inspiration book for expanding lettering ideas while admiring the works.
The 26th edition was edited and designed by Carl Rohrs, a renowned lettering artist. It inherits the charm of the historic Speedball Textbook while being updated with content relevant to the current world of calligraphy/lettering.
This book is recommended for beginners as an introduction to choosing scripts and practicing, and for experienced individuals as a resource for studying various scripts and works.
It's a book for "seeing, knowing, and creating" calligraphy, not just "learning" it.
It's a classic textbook that every person who holds a pen should have on hand.
