Title: please stay away from this book
Review: I can't trust a handwriting instruction book that incorrectly labels one of its styles (an elaborate eighteenth-century flourished copperplate script) as "Italic." They plainly did this to cash in on the current trend towards the Italic handwriting style: a much simpler and more practical style than the abomination that the authoress chose to label, falsely, as "Italic."The authoress' decision irks me not only because for 15 years I have taught the Italic style of handwriting (so I know that it DOES NOT look like what thye stuck the label "Italic" onto), but because the book and its publishing-company claim to operate on the highest moral standards. As I see it, morality in teaching requires accuracy in teaching. In this, they have failed.
Is the review positive or negative?
