Lots of writing practice
This is, as it says, a copy book. There are a couple rows to trace the characters in really large print, then a few more in slightly smaller print. After that, there are a couple blank lines (with the graph marks needed to make the characters the right proportions). Each character is in Uchen, the standard printed type; Tsuring, a neat but elegant cursive style; and Chuying, which looks to me like chicken scratch handwriting. One thing this book won't do is actually teach you the letters; this is purely about developing a physical familiarity with making the letter forms.While I've used a number of resources in picking up the the Uchen, I'd recommend the Tibetan Pre-Primer, who is purely for learning the letter forms, including deciphering which letters are silent, which are pronounced and which affect the pronunciation of the vowels. The book under review is a great place to develop decent handwriting after learning the letters with the Pre-Primer, and to learn a cursive script that's less tedious to write.If your Tibetan studies require you to copy out a lot of Tibetan text, not just read it, this is an excellent book to work through to make writing faster down the road.

useful, but poorly printed.
most of the examples are very small, and very faint. a shame, as there are almost no resources for these scripts available.

Simple calligraphy
Neat calligraphy exercise book but its missing the translation into a western alphabet.
