This is a really clear and detailed book that has one job, to teach you how to write the Thai script consonant alphabet correctly. It starts from basics and it does that job very well with lots of exercises and space to practice. NB that it covers consonants only, hopefully the author will write more books covering vowels, numbers and other aspects of Thai script. A really important thing that it does, which other books often don't, is show the variations in how letters are written in different Thai fonts, which can be quite confusing for students, including me. It's definitely helped me improve my writing and need to keep practising :)
