The Alphabet

John Sachs


There is much that could be criticised in this book: it is repetitive, confusingly structured initially, sometimes annoyingly populist and written for an American readership (fair enough, the writer is American but it makes for irritating reading at times). On the other hand, the story of how our alphabet was created 2000 years ago and has developed since is fascinating.
