For more than 30 years, I have always been looking forward to receiving the next issue of Letter Arts Review in the mail. It tries to represent what is going on in the calligraphy and lettering field today, not just from an American point of view, but whenever possible in quite a global way. The Annual Juried Issue gives every calligrapher a chance to publish his/her work and reflects current tendencies in the lettering arts very well. Thank you for putting in all the effort and offering the calligraphy and lettering community such a high quality, powerful publication.
