andrijtype17 Apr 2008

dear typophiles!

i am glad to tell you about new original book about Cyrillic, and especially about Ukrainian handwrited letters. Vitalij Mitchenko -- artist, calligrapher, teacher and author of this book -- pays strong attention to our rich historical heritage, especially to Ukrainian skoropys, and to works of modern calligraphers. here is some pictures from this book:

Мітченко В.С.
Естетика українського рукописного шрифту. — Київ: Грамота, 2007
ISBN 978-966-349-099-1

So how do those of use living outside of the Ukraine acquire a copy?

Are all copies written Державною мовою, or are there versions in Russian/English?
