Very cool! I’ve been buying the Speedball Textbook since the 70s when I got started with calligraphy in high school. I received my copy of the 25th edition the other day, but hadn’t had a chance to look through it yet. What a nice surprise that I “know” one of the artists.

I have this book. I knew about Palmer script. But I didn’t know it was a method. My mother was taught the method when she was a girl in high school. She told me about the drills she had to do. She has the best handwriting I’ve ever read. After seeing your page in. The book. I started to investigate the Palmer Method. I knew that copperplate used arm movement, but not regular writing. I have been using the arm or muscular movement to draw and paint since I was little. But not so much for writing.

Congratulations David on being featured is such reputed manual. I know to be able to produce a full set of examplar on the fly is the wet dream of every calligrapher. I pray you reach that stage soon.

Dave, this is awesome and so well deserved. Congratulations! I ordered my copy last week and can't wait to get it. It's exciting to see how many friends are in it this year! Very cool to see this generation of penmen and penwomen included. I work the same way when doing exemplars-I can't do it in one shot! Thanks for all you are doing to keep BP alive!

That's super cool, Dave. I love that you are so honest to point people yo the old textbooks. 😁

Interesting on how you did the work. Very fun, thanks.

i wish to thank you for helping me understand the palmer method. No seriously though, because i took the time to learn the palmer method drawing was a bit easier and cleaner. thanks! yes, i decided to take on drawing and its quite fun.

Congratulations to be featured. I'm happy for you. I'll probably gonna have to get the new edition😊. I only have the previous 24th edition.

Congratulations on being featured! I havent picked up that book yet. What kind of paper did you use when you showed your examples?

Je viens juste d'en commander un exemplaire ! Je suis impatient de voir ça !! Félicitation pour votre contribution !

Epic! You're a BP rockstar, its official.

Congrats... So much work goes behind the scene 👍👍👍👍 Is this the same as tje cursive course you ve on KZfaq

When will this 25th Edition be available for purchase? I haven't seen it on Amazon yet...

Hi could you please guide me on which nibs i need to buy for business penmanship because this kind of writing requires monoline rather than shaded downstrokes. thanks
