The Series
It was started before the internet, and John produced three previous 6″x9″ books of his masterful calligraphy. (Photo shown at left) They became collected and eventually all sold out. They have been called “inspirational” and “beautiful.” They feature his unusual range and command of the art of the written letter, or “letter art.”
Each of the 32 pages featured a different piece of John’s work, but because they were self-published, they were reproduced in two—or three-color printing.
They were beautifully off-set printed on really nice paper.
By request, Thirty years later, John returned to a similar format (but his latest book is printed in full color and has 16 more pages!).
So, for the first time in my life, I will actually have something ready for the Christmas season!
