Much can be learned about a people by the language they use, but what can be said of the letters of that language? This playful treatise on the English alphabet explores the art and philosophy of some letters as they gained form in one artist's eye and expression in the language of a wondering wordsmith. 26 letters called out for a home and found one in the words of this tiny tome.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe quotable alphabet book:\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"The Lime Launched the First Attack!\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"The idea, like a chill, catching...
