Book Synopsis The Practice of Letters by : David P. Becker
Book excerpt: Philip Hofer, Founding Curator of Printing and Graphic Arts in Houghton Library, amassed one of the great collections of early penmanship textbooks before his death in 1984. Becker's catalogue tells the story of this collection while amply illustrating the diversity and expressive power of the arts of the pen.
