Alphabet Tales

Want to ease your child into reading? Start him out with Alphabet Tales. Each tale tells a story about how the letter came to have its shape and sound, creating a humorous and unforgettable learning experience. Embedding learning in stories makes it nearly impossible for any child to forget the all-important story content. Charming full-color illustrations enhance this learning/story time for all types of learners, but especially for visual, right-brained, kinesthetic learners.

The accessible comic-strip style of this a-z story book will engage young learners and facilitate independent reading. Children will love hearing about Eddy Elephant’s Excellent Race, Jumping Jim’s Jolly Day and more as they learn the alphabet and build their reading confidence.

Written as an anecdotal first-person account, the reader is treated to famed German calligrapher and typographer Hermann Zapf's personal recollections of technical breakthroughs. Zapf reveals milestones tracing his education in 1930s Germany, to his work on forefront of computer-aided typesetting in the 1970s, to the tour de force design of a complex calligraphic font-Zapfino in the late '90s. Vivid reproductions of Zapf's calligraphy, production proofs, typographic specimens, and photographs complete the portrait of one of the most prolific designers of our time. After a complete sell-out of the American edition, RIT Press is releasing a second edition of Alphabet Stories: A Chronicle of Technical Developments. This new edition is enhanced by the addition of a letterpress-printed broadside designed by Zapf. The insert was typeset and printed at the RIT Cary Graphic Arts Collection using its collection of rare metal "Virtuosa" type - Zapf's elegant script face originally released by Stempel Typefounders in 1952. This book is the first Hermann Zapf monograph to be typeset in the new Palatino Nova and Palatino Sans digital typefaces issued by Linotype.
