I also took a few lessons in the summer. I managed to carve/cut my own pen from bamboo after watching the calligraphy master. I've been meaning to get back to the writing, insha Allah. It was so interesting, subhan Allah. Regarding the book - yes, I thought so brother Yursil. Wasalaam As-salaamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu
