Drogin became interested in the scripts of the Middle Ages in the 1970s, researched palaeography independently at the Bodleian Library in Oxford, England, and wrote Medieval Calligraphy: Its History and Technique, which was published in 1980 by Allanheld, Osmun & Co. Publishers, Inc. and Abner Schram, Ltd.

It was re-published with corrections in 1989 by Dover Publications.

This was followed by a children's version titled Yours Truly, King Arthur.

He then wrote the first-ever published volume on the history of book curses, Anathema !, and a history of the discovery and destruction of ancient manuscripts called Biblioclasm.

During this period, he taught calligraphic workshops and lectured across the United States, Canada, England, and Iceland.

He is described on the back cover of the Dover edition of his calligraphy book as " a professional calligrapher of medieval styles, as well as illuminator, writer, and teacher.
