This is a beautiful, informative, spiritual text. It's completely handwritten. Midway through the book, I had begun to learn Hebrew just by the way the book was laid out, not because the author "taught" me the language. I'm not even Jewish. I picked it up to learn about beautiful lettering because I do body art. But I also love to study languages, and after having studied five different ones, I found Hebrew to be almost magical by the way the author presented it.
