Christianson's Don't Do Coke in the Bathroom is a sassy guide to learning hand lettering. Sometimes a cheeky message us the only way to get your point across, and this guide helps you do so in style. There are many different fonts and styles to choose from. Each has tips and tricks for producing the best results when working with that particular font, as well as the best writing implements to use. Included are several pre-made signs that can be fancied up and used right away if you just can't wait to start ‘subtly’ sassing the annoying ones in your life.

While funny as hell, this is a fairly short book. I would have liked to have seen less font descript and more practise area for each font. Full alphabet for each would also have been nice. I imagine this is a book more technically useful to someone already familiar with calligraphy, or graphic arts. The pre-made signs are awesome, though. Many would be great transferred to a cross-stitch pattern!

Just the title alone on this book would get someone to notice it. It is a guide for hand lettering to express your sarcasm with beautiful calligraphy. With the on onslaught of social media and online writing why not change it up and leave a handwritten note telling someone how you really feel.
