Thank you for pointing out this wonderful treasure. I've met some of the Greatest Generation who were taught the Peterson method of handwriting with it's perfect shapes. It's beautiful. Some in Gen Z are fascinated with the cursive writing they couldn't read, so are very curious to learn it. This looks like a great gift.

Thanks for this, Jan. I'm very optimistic that we're beginning to see a resurgence of interest in cursive writing and even in decorative writing.

Sounds like a great reference book. Also, it might help the younger generation who didn't learn cursive in school. I was blown away to find out my grandsons could read very little cursive and they print everything! Oh my, has this only happened in the south?

I heard that doctors had the worst handwriting, but mine is atrocious and I've not gone to medical school! Thank you for this, Elizabeth!

I think I need this book! The more I type, the worse my handwriting gets. Thanks for the tip, Elizabeth!

Thanks, Elizabeth!

I have trouble with both handwriting skills and dyslexia. Your handwriting is beautiful. I am interested in learning how to tame my handwriting.
