This is an excellent book for those looking to create celtic designs.This book teaches you step and key patters, spirials, uncial script and how to layout manuscript pages.The book is best used when accompianied by Aidan's other Celtic Design books. I have 7 of the books in this series and love them all!All in all this is a great book for someone looking to create celtic designs.

A good start

Actually this book provides enough information to make the first steps into celtic design. I think it is the best book for beginners, but there lies the problem. Every time you try out something, you will soon reach a point where you need additional information to proceed. So for beginners it is an excellent entry into the matter, but nothing more.

A great introduction to Celtic design

Covers the basic how-to of Celtic design, including step patterns, key patterns, spirals, uncial script calligraphy, and decorative letters. For more detailed information, see Meehan's other titles in the Celtic Design series. Includes plenty (258) of very well done black and white illustrations demonstrating the techniques described in the text.
