This book examines a fundamental discovery of humankind, the idea of shapes for sounds - of alphabets. Without them, newspapers would be just folder paper, mystery envelopes would drop through your letterbox, you might brush your teeth with your hair gel and you wouldn't be reading this.
The development of this idea is considered on a sequential and individual basis, from its sonic beginnings, with the Latin alphabet placed into a broader context of other alphabets. Topics examined are: the growth of the second Latin alphabet from the first one (and three optional routes), a view of alphabetic application since the invention of printing, and how to make your own tools and lettershapes. |
