from Broadway
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:
I picked this up after seeing it on Ralph Nader's summer reading list of 2006. It's a fast read, and fairly well written.

This is not a beginner's book, but it does have enough information to inspire the intermediate calligrapher to more creative usage.
