""Tibetan Calligraphy" is a beautiful book...It is wonderful to see a book dedicated to showing how every syllable can be beneficial." --"Mandala"
"A lovely book which will inspire students with shining examples." --"The Asian Reporter"
"A great artist in his own right, Sanje Elliott has studied and taught the art of Tibetan "thangka "painting for many years, mastering the traditional, highly refined styles of Tibet. Now in this book of traditional calligraphy, we can learn the necessary foundation of Tibetan writing, perhaps in order to explore later our own creative relationship with the language. I am grateful for this needed addition to the field and will use it immediately in teaching Tibetan." --Sarah Harding, Naropa University
