Kitty Burns Florey

0/5 ( ratings)

A witty and readable excursion through the history of handwriting. --"The Wall Street Journal"Let a self-confessed penmanship nut take you on a tour of the strange and beautiful world of handwriting.
Since her Catholic school days learning the Palmer Method, Kitty Burns Florey has been in love with handwriting, and can't imagine a world where schools forego handwriting drills in favor of teaching something called "keyboarding."
In this winsome mix of memoir and call to arms , Florey weaves together the evolution of writing implements and scripts, pen-collecting societies, the golden age of American penmanship, and the growth in popularity of handwriting analysis, and asks the question: Is writing by hand really no longer necessary in today's busy world?
Charmingly composed and handsomely presented, "Script & Scribble "traces the history of penmanship to the importance of writing by hand in an increasingly digital age . "From the Trade Paperback edition."
