Calligrapher Carrie Imai has created an excellent manual on how to use an Automatic Pen to create beautiful lettering.

This book + DVD combination essentially allows you to take a class from Carrie from the comfort of your own home.
"We calligraphers have fallen in love with the magical flow of pigment onto surface. What could be better than to dance with your pen upon that surface and watch the medium form into vuluptuous shapes? The sensuousness of the manipulated line has become integrated into all my letterforms and infused my art. It lets my letters dance and my hand float over the page." -- Introduction, Carrie Imai.
