"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 Script & 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 International edition 101 pages.

This fascinating and wide-ranging book charts developments in the teaching and study of handwriting over the course of the twentieth century. The book shows how changing educational policies, economic forces and inevitable technological advance have combined to alter the priorities and form of handwriting. This 'long and sometimes sorry story' tells also of the sheer pain and hard work of children forced to follow the style of the day, and of the reformers who have sought to simplify the teaching and learning of handwriting over the years. Illustrated throughout with examples from copybooks and personal handwriting from across the world, the book is a compelling historical record of techniques, styles and methods.
