Reddit reviews Calligraphy A to Z

Welcome to the hobby! Some perspective:

1. Newbies focus on the tools ("I need a calligraphy pen!")
   
2. Amateurs focus on the letterforms ("I need to know the proper strokes and construction")
   
3. Intermediates focus on regularity ("My spacing and angles need to be perfect")
   
   …I cannot claim to know what comes next as I'm not sure I have much claim to anything beyond amateur. But here are some especially nice books on the subject I have found helpful:

• The Calligrapher's Bible by David Harris
