Looking for good reference or books on cursive writing
I am just beginning fountain pen collecting and I am fascinated by
cursive writing. So far I have picked up a new Waterman on sale at a local office supply and purchase a vintage Sheaffer lifeline plus a selection of inks and papers off the internet to experiment with. Last night I got around to inking the Lifeline and noodleing around with it a bit, after a few minute some of my cursive skills began to come back to me. This got me wondering if anyone sells books that teach cursive writing skills. I suppose I could look online for some elementary school handwriting primers from the nineteen fifties. Interesting that one of my coworkers who is a teacher/artists/architect/engineer in his seventies was lamenting that no one writes in cursive anymore. If anyone can recommend some resources on cursive writing it would be appreciated. Thank you, Scott |

Looking for good reference or books on cursive writing
I'd start off with looking at the two major schools of cursive:
D'Nealian and Zaner-Bloser. However, cursive is a handwriting that is invarriably stylized by the writer far beyond the techniques instructed by those who design the system - which is the appeal of cursive to those who don't want to see it vanish from the face of the earth. scottmandue wrote: I am just beginning fountain pen collecting and I am fascinated by cursive writing.
