Coincidentally, I just picked up a book a few days ago. My bibliographic skills are a little rusty, so: Nicholas Awde & Putros Samano _The Arabic Alphabet: How to Read & Write It_ Carol Publishing Group Edition, 1998. ISBN: 0-8184-0430-2 Picked it up serendipitously at a Barnes & Noble the other day. I haven't had a chance to work with it yet, but though not a "workbook", it does show you how to write the letters. At just under ten bucks, I can afford to gamble. Kou
