Publisher's Synopsis

Prepare to be alphabetized! Ever wonder what goes on in the secret lives of letters? Surely they don't just huddle quietly under the covers waiting to be read. This collection of "visual fictions" gives you a rare opportunity to come out of the lexical bushes, drop your quarter into the slot, and watch the typographical peepshow unfold. You'll be tickled ink as an e reinvents himself with an accent aigu toupee; you'll be on the edge of your seat as a renowned typographical naturalist hunts an elusive species of giant sea-dwelling fonts; you'll be heartbroken to discover the sadness of an experimental archivist who is literally reduced to the bureaucratic file that documents his life; yes, you'll experience a rollercoaster of emotions as the typographical escapades unfurl. The QWERTY Institute: alphabetic antics at their finest.
