The Palmer Method of Business Writing

This comprehensive guide will help you master the Palmer Method of writing so you can achieve perfect cursive handwriting. In a series of rapid, plain, unshaded, coarse-pen writing lessons, this guide will enable you to adopt a neat cursive writing style with rhythmic motions. The Palmer Method suggests that writing should be an exercise of the entire arm, not just the wrist and fingers. This assists writers in keeping their words legible, while writing quickly and painlessly. Focused on business writing, rather than the art of calligraphy, no artistic talent is required to master this skill. Complete with the original illustrations and diagrams, this 1901 book provides easy-to-follow instructions for learners of all ages. Austin Palmer developed the Palmer Method of handwriting in the late 19th century with the aim of simplifying the standardised Spencerian Method of cursive writing. Palmer‘s method quickly became the most popular handwriting style in America. Read & Co. Books is proud to have republished this new edition of The Palmer Method of Business Writing, featuring an introductory biography of the author. Not to be missed by those with a keen interest in the history and development of penmanship.
