"Aesthetics of Ukrainian Lettering" new book
dear typophiles!
i am glad to tell you about new original book about Cyrillic, and especially about Ukrainian handwrited letters. Vitalij Mitchenko — artist, calligrapher, teacher and author of this book — pays strong attention to our rich historical heritage, especially to Ukrainian skoropys, and to works of modern calligraphers. here is some pictures from this book:

Are all copies written Державною мовою, or are there versions in Russian/English?
