The First Writing Book an English Translation & Facsimile Text of Arrighi's Operina by J. H. Benson
My father gave me this book and an Osmiroid 75 when I was 12, and I have been chasing the Italic form ever since. Benson presents the book in its woodcut original and the his own beautifully lettered translation. A classic of the English revival of the early Italian handwriting books.
