I am a new student of calligraphy, and placement is an important aspect of design. This book is certainly a 'quick read', with only 60 pages, and half of those pages are only some examples of what the author thinks looks "good" or "better". Not how to layout a design, or how to measure to center your work.

As a teacher of calligraphy, I have used Alan Furber's book many times. He does a great, yet simple job of explaining basic graphic design and layout techniques, but from a calligraphic perspective. The book is filled with actual examples of everything he discusses. From thumbnails to full layouts, Alan gives the reader a "good" way and a "better" way to arrive at a finished piece. He covers many of the types of work that a calligrapher would be asked to letter. Because of its simplicity and imagery, I would highly recommend this book for beginning to semi-advanced calligraphers who are needing help with basic layout and design techniques.
