Inhalt: Johanna Drucker has spent many years researching writing and typography; this book is the result of a lifetime's interest. In it she examines the many imaginative, often idiosyncratic ways in which the letters of the alphabet have been assigned value in political, spiritual, or religious belief systems over two millennia--as well as presenting the more general aspects of the history of lettering, printing and calligraphy.
