An Introduction to Arabic Calligraphy: 1 Hardcover – Illustrated, 28 Oct. 2016

gives meaning of some of the script shown and how to master it.

A decent intro but not a good instructional.

I really liked this book. As well as showing the main styles of Arabic calligraphy, there was some useful information about very recent additions to the Arabic alphabet, to enunciate sounds not present in Arabic, like ‘p’. That said, Arabic calligraphy is an art form that demands a large investment of time and, of course, fluency in Arabic. I’m just going to stick to observing and admiring the calligraphy without being able to understand all of it right now. It’s very beautiful, but not for the novice, especially one with poor Arabic skills.

Good printed..nice pictures intersssting

Good book
