Hi

I got these four books out of a mixup @abebooks (I thought I bought copybooks 1-5 and theorybook, but I got 1,2,3,5 and the set theory + all copybooks). So I have no use for the separate copybooks.

I'm willing to swap/give for free/trade, just make me an offer. I'd say they're worth around 8 US$ (shipping to almost anywhere would be around the same amount...).

8002

Regards

Sorry for my ignorance, but do these have examples of the writing to copy in order to learn the style? I just received two beautiful dip pens, and if so, may like to try my hand so to speak...

Hello Steve, here's a quick and dirty pic of a page from book 5: there are 16 lines underneath the text. The format is a little different in the first three books, but they're full of examples.

Book 4 is mostly concerned with capitals, but they're all covered on the inside covers of book 3 and in the body of book 5 too. Well worth having, I'd say.

Flaviocu,
I'd like to take these. Let me know where to send the PayPal...

Dear Steve

Thank you for your interest in the copybooks. I just want to make you aware that I'm in switzerland, and as I wrote shipping to the US might cost around $10, which makes for a total of 18$.

You could get these copybooks cheaper and possibly quicker on amazon....

Ofcourse I will sell them to you, just want to make sure you don'thave any regrets later (Or I'm open to swap/trade against something).

Flaviocu,
Thank you for your reply. After checking the link, I think I'll order the set with the theory book from Amazon. Again, thank you for your reply, and your honesty. You are a class act!
