"e;A witty and readable (and fetchingly illustrated and glossed) excursion through the history of handwriting."e; The Wall Street JournalLet a self-confessed "e;penmanship nut"e; take you on a tour of the strange and beautiful world of handwriting.Since her Catholic school days learning the Palmer Method, Kitty Burns Florey has been in love with handwriting, and can't imagine a world where schools forego handwriting drills in favor of teaching something called keyboarding.In this "e;winsome mix of memoir and call to arms"e; (Chicago Tribune), Florey weaves together the evolution of writing implements and scripts, pen-collecting societies, the golden age of American penmanship, and the growth in popularity of handwriting analysis, and asks the question: Is writing by hand really no longer necessary in today's busy world? "e;Charmingly composed and handsomely presented,"e; Script & Scribble traces the history of penmanship to the importance of writing by hand in an increasingly digital age (The Boston Globe).From the Trade Paperback edition.
