Good for Kids, Adults need Medieval Calligraphy
This book introduces a few medieval "hands" and is pretty simplistic.
Good for a child who just saw a movie about the period or is studying it in school.
A serious student of the subject needs to spend the extra money and go for the Medieval Calligraphy: Its History and Technique
That one can get pretty dry just as reading material, but the "how-to" pages are very comprehensive and it offers a lot more hands and variations plus the sources for them.
Calligraph of the Middle Ages and How to Do it.
A well written, genuninely interesting volume with excellent how to and use instructions. The text alone is worth the price of the book and the time spent reading. I for one learned quite a lot and have been practicing calligraphy for a couple of decades.
