The book’s purpose is to explore the alphabet; that is, to illuminate connections between language and writing. The form is inherently compatible with the purpose and content, because the book was designed by the author.
Special features: One page in text is die-cut, and one embossed. Book is printed one side, and each pair of pages has a untrimmed fold at the front edge.
