Hi, My name is De Herman. I'm a Hebrew calligrapher who received an email of your request from my friend Amy, the librarian at Temple Emanuel in Kensington, Maryland. You might check the website: www.johnnealbooks.com and click on the online catalogue. There's a book titled Hebrew Script, which looks lovely, albeit a bit pricey. I don't have first hand experience with it. I have the old Toby book, which I still refer to, and A Step By Step Guide by Jay Greenspan, which has basic info, though I don't use it much. There's also a book by Reuben Leaf, called Hebrew Alphabets, which is a good compendium of hands and fonts, though it doesn't give any calligraphic instruction. I just found another website with a long list of books on Hebrew calligraphy: www.nationalfinder.com/jbs/callig.htm
Hope this helps!
