The Chinese Calligraphy Bible by Yat-Ming Cathy Ho


I bought this book on Chinese Calligraphy some time ago on Amazon.com.  The book is an excellent book on Chinese Calligraphy covering all aspects.  The book is great for both beginner and advanced!  For the advanced reader it’s a great reference guide.  For the beginner, the book introduces the reader to the 4 treasures of the calligraphy studio, stroke order, history & styles of calligraphy, and introduction to important Chinese characters.  The author shows how to write a good number of Chinese characters arranging them into various categories.  The basic Chinese stroke is shown with great detail.  The pictures are amazing and the author even introduces the Chinese seal and Chinese painting!  I would highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to know about Chinese Calligraphy or anyone wanting a great reference on the subject.
