OverviewA witty and readable (and fetchingly illustrated and glossed) 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 ( Chicago Tribune ), 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 ( The Boston Globe ). From the Trade Paperback edition.
