"I find it's not easy to find resources on this script, but Jacq's workbook does answer my beginner questions on spacing, for example, and was easy to follow along. I can see the progress."

"Jacq has written a wonderful beginners workbook for learning Textura. After an introduction she gives a brief history of the script, basic terminology and info about guidelines and spacing. To built muscle memory you will start with simple warm-up excercises (drills). Then you'll move on to the miniscules (divided in groups, with step-by-step explaination), write ligatures and practice words. It's a useful workbook to get started and dive into the world of writing Textura!"

"It's an excellent resource for learning how to write textura effectively, with clear step-by-step instructions."

"The terminology for Gothic was the most helpful for me to see how these terms are spelled and at the same time, I got the clarity about each strokes name. Some extra details that you gave about each stroke, was like a cherry on top.

Spacing for black letters were always a mystery for me. Your detailed explanation and examples helped me understand how much spacing I need to give between two letters in a word or a sentence.

The guidelines ratios were another thing that I always used to mess up when t came to black letters. You gave a complete clarity how guidelines ratios can vary and some other ratios that I can work/ practice on. The examples you gave in the workbook made me see how different ratios make a letter appear so different.

Overall, I found this workbook as the best and the most detailed workbook"
