John Neal Books is my go-to for writing materials. As Im new to lettering & calligraphy; I usually have questions about the items. The John Neal Books customer service people are friendly and kind; I feel confident about my online purchases after talking with them. I always always look forward to receiving my order from John Neal Books.

Everything for the calligrapher with mail order service, online classes and a helpful staff available by phone.

John Neal Booksellers are fantastic. Great customer service!

I have been purchasing my bookbinding, calligraphy, and illumination supplies from John Neal Booksellers for many years now. They are always fast and courteous when I order. Their online store is easy to move around in and find things.I can find many of my rare gold leaf supplies and some great linen threads in color for embroidery and in my whites for bookbinding.I highly recommend supporting this great business. And keep helping artisans find quality materials to use or teach with.

What an amazing place! What awesome folks! John Neal books caters to its customers - they are quite knowledgeable and willing to help with any request for aid or information. Known far and wide for their Scribal supplies, they are so much more. They are enablers in the best sense of the word, allowing you to create art with new and innovative products as well as those that are more traditional. Nikki is amazing and she is always kind. She has come in on her day off to host learning days and allow artists to play and experience various instruments and media. They are a small company with a heart of gold. You will never receive this level of care from a big box company.

Outstanding service and items. My papers always arrive in perfect condition and are very well packed. The inks and nibs are just as well cared for and I cant wait to order one of the turned wood nib holders. Theyre just lovely!

I LOVE JNB

John Neal Books understands their customers and provides better supplies at a better price than any box store. They are my go-to source for calligraphy and illumination supplies. Their shipping time is awesome, and their customer service is fantastic. I teach calligraphy to the public, and John Neal has supplies for that I simply cant find elsewhere.

John and the staff at John Neal are wonderful! As a calligrapher and instructor, I rely on their excellent service regularly. In fact, just recently I forgot to order a specific supply for a class and realized it two days before. JNB had it in stock--as usual--and shipped it out right after I called. It arrived on time. (And they arent Amazon!!! :-) I am very particular about the vendors with whom I choose to work, and John Neal is listed as one of the resources for all-things-calligraphic on my student handouts.

Knowledgeable staff, friendly and always willing to help. Great products, good prices. Seem to always have just what I need when I need it. Have a wish list a MILE long. Long time repeat customer and will be as often as I can :)

The quality and breadth of their materials is extensive. I love the pergamenata, its a joy to use for calligraphy and illumination, and the preparation I have to do to it is minimal. Their ink is good quality, their nibs are fantastic, and their service is great. They do an excellent job finding quality materials at reasonable prices. Theyre my go-to for art supplies.

John Neal Books is a wonderland for artists. There is such a great stock and variety of papers, inks, calligraphy nibs and nib holders, books, paintbrush, paints, paint holders, specialty items. It is truly dizzying. The staff are wonderfully helpful and patient. Check them out.

John Neal is pretty much the best stocked calligraphy business on the East coast, possibly in the country. They have what you need, and the staff is super helpful and friendly. They do a lot of business by order, but, yes, you can in fact go into the store to browse the shelves. And by all means, you should cause its the kind of place youll be glad to lose yourself in for an hour or more.

John Neal Books has been my go-to source for all things calligraphy and illumination. As a historical reenactor, Medieval manuscript arts supplies can be difficult to locate. John Neal Books has always had exactly what I needed. Excellent service, good prices, and quick shipping make a powerful combination.

A great place for your bookbinding, and calligraphy and illumination needs. Whether youre a professional or hobbyist. JNB has everything you need! I also really like that whenever I have a product question they have employees that have used everything they sell so they can answer your questions and help you find the best product for your needs.

High quality products, great communication when one of the items I ordered was out out stock and prompt shipping once it arrived! I absolutely will do business with them again!

John Neal Books is simply the best calligraphy and book arts supply store, period. Particularly for historic calligraphy and illumination tools, there really is none better. 10/10 would recommend.

Simply the BEST. Best customer service. Anything you could possibly want for calligraphy. And best of all - books and magazines, published by John Neal that showcase the very best in contemporary lettering arts.

This is not a retail site, but you can order online and pick up from their location. If you are interested in calligraphy, fountain and dip pens, inks, etc, its worth taking some time on their website. The staff I spoke to were great.

I ordered this book about 10 days ago, from USA to Europe and arrived punctual without delay. The book is in excellent condition, the protection package has been done very well. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Anything the scribe needs, you can find it here. The staff is amazing and the shipping is fast! Thanks guys!

Great customer service. A mistake was made on my order so I called the store and the person who answered did a tremendous job of making things right. Shipping was prompt and I appreciate how patient/good-natured the staff there is. I will definitely shop here again.

John Neal Bookseller is my go to place for all hard to find calligraphy supplies and books. They have everything that you could ever want; from a new scribe to a super experienced one.

I have been debating for years about purchasing a Kolinsky brush. Why I waited is beyond me. This brush has changed my game. The care that JNB put into keeping the brush in perfect condition and the price was on point. So glad I got the brush, I will be getting another very soon. THANK YOU!

I go here for all of my art supply needs. Would highly recommend this place to anyone who needs supplies! A+++++

Great selection and superior customer service. I needed a gift for a serious calligrapher and JNB came through with flying colors! :)

JNB has an extensive selection and delivery times are impressively quick. Top quality materials.

Always has what Im looking for in stock. Quick shipping and everything is packed well.

Fast shipping and incredibly friendly service! Ill definitely a repeat customer.

John Neal Books loves calligraphers and the feeling is mutual. Prompt service, great selection.

Excellent customer service, products I cant find elsewhere and fast shipping.

I used to live in Greensboro, where the JNB warehouse/store is located. It was (and by mail still is) my primary source for excellent bookbinding equipment without breaking the bank on Talas. Also, as a member of the SCA with an interest in recreating and experimenting with medieval illumination techniques, I love that JNB is aware of and caters explicitly to our craft with specialty sales and packs.

Always great service, reasonable prices, hard to find art supplies, references, and expert staff to guide!

I purchased specialty paper for calligraphy. I am very pleased with the paper and the customer service at John Neal.
