Thames & Hudson, 2006, softcover, illustrated, 320 pages, 21.5 cms x 30 cms x 2.7 cms, condition: as new.

This volume presents an array of modern alphabets, emblems, logos, letters and signs, together with stunning graphics drawn from classic modernist books and magazines and from obscure professional manuals of the 20th century.

This is a book to look at rather than to read, as it is filled with alphabets, signs and various typographic specimens, mostly dating from the early part of the 20th century. The book description from the publisher says it all:

Delightfully unpredictable, ABZ is a wonderbook of typography, graphics, and symbols. Julian Rothenstein turns his idiosyncratic eye towards eccentric alphabets, emblems, and logos discovered in avant-garde modernist publications and other curious sources. Hundreds of examples of graphic ephemera sit side-by-side in inimitable Redstone fashion, mixing peculiar charm with useful reference in one stunning package. Special features include an amazing alphabet, circa 1926, created from photographs of a dancing woman; original test-types for opticians charts; pages from sign artists manuals; and coolly elegant designs from fin de siècle French, German, Italian, and Czech journals. Nearly all of this rare and beautiful material is reproduced here for the first time since its original publication. An art book like no other, ABZ is a collection of typographic oddities taken to the next level of appreciation.

I discovered Redstone Press when I was a graphic design student and had purchased the first book Alphabets and Other Signs (1991), now lost among many moves in my student days. I've since purchased a few of their highly collectible agendas; they truly do have an original way of presenting their material which makes for very fun and exciting viewing.

Recommended for lovers of type, design and graphic ephemera.
