You won't find anything new here that isn't already covered in the more recent colorful comprehensive texts, but the presentation is good in that the drawings are in black and white, allowing for the reader to use their artistic sense to fill in the colors.
The back advertising is wonderful, with the engravings showing which art supplies of the period were available.
Overall, a nice addition to the calligrapher & illuminator's library; one of the first of its kind and a nice historical reference.
