Riassunto

It's so natural and easy to have better handwriting.

WRITE NOW is a self-instructional course in modern italic handwriting, containing everything you need to improve the legibility, ease and look of your handwriting -- a complete workbook for adults and professionals. This is the International Edition of the popular book from the USA.

Improve the legibility, ease and look of your handwriting with this complete workbook for adults and professionals. Learn a fast, efficient and practical handwriting style that eliminates the loops and flourishes of conventional cursive. Italic is a modern handwriting system based on Italian Renaissance letterforms that are highly suited to rapid and legible writing, where rhythmic patterns follow the natural movement of the hand. Italic’s handsome letters are as easy to write as they are to read.

• Send handwritten notes you can be proud of.
• Friends and business associates will appreciate receiving legible and distinctive handwritten messages.
• Poor handwriting isn't your fault. The looped cursive handwriting most of us were taught was simply not designed to accomplish the necessary combination of legibility, speed, and ease.
• Contains instructions, practice exercises and tips.
• An easy way to develop a better hand at your own pace.
• Write directly in the book. No special tools are required — just your favorite pen or pencil.
• Includes instruction in edged-pen writing (edged pen required for this section).
• Also includes the historical development of letters.
• Entire book is handwritten.

“It’s a breakthrough at last!” — Betty Edwards, PhD, author of Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain

“When one consciously chooses to communicate, this remarkable script forces the writer to think more clearly, fostering greater mental discipline and organization. Italic handwriting is legible and handsome – I find it soul-satisfying. I recommend Write Now – the book to use. Long live legibility!” — Paul O. Jacobs, M.D.

“Write Now by Barbara Getty and Inga Dubay is the best book on italic handwriting — or any handwriting — I’ve come across. Handsomely handwritten, wondrously clear, easy to use, and even witty, WRITE NOW is the perfect resource for anyone who wants to learn Italic or (as I did) improve a deteriorated script.” — Kitty Burns Florey, author ofScript & Scribble: The Rise and Fall Of Handwriting

"The hospital staff calls it a miracle. I can now communicate my ideas to other physicians. My wife tells me she can read my love letters. All of this accomplished by improving the legibility of my handwriting with Getty-Dubay.” — Stephen Caplan, MD
