Drogin's book has everything in his other book,Calligraphy of the Middle Ages and How to Do It, plus more. This is the better buy. (

This book has been my bible in terms of medieval calligraphy. Not only does it give a great history of medieval calligraphy but it breaks down the hands beautifully. Very practical for anyone who wants to learn about and do medieval calligraphy. *Highly* recommended. (
