Title: The Write Stuff !
Product review: If you seriously want to learn to write Arabic properly, this very practical manual is indispensable. It shows you how develop your Arabic handwriting step by step in order to achieve stunning results that ooze instant authenticity, and are more Arabic than an Arab's hand !T F Mitchell has done a great service here, and it's a little surprising why this manual isn't staple as so many go astray by copying the 'naskh' (print) script, which is too much like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.Although the essential practicality of the book is beyond reproach, it does need modernising in terms of pen technology discussions, linguistic asides, and colour/typeface. An accompanying CDROM or some type of multimedia ought to be, to use the author's language, 'de rigeur' !
