"You cannot pronounce the letter Tet until you go out early in the spring morning and see the dew."
"There is a legend which teaches that when Moses got to the top of Mount Sinai to receive the Torah, he found God putting on the Tagen. 'What are those?' Moses asked. Never mind, answered God. You will be more than busy enough trying to understand the meaning of the letters themselves without worrying about such things. Someday a as yet unborn student will discover their meaning." p. 53

This is a nice idea, but if you have any familiarity with the Hebrew alef-bait, the amount of additional material here is small.
I feel sorry to have to say this, particularly as a student of Hebrew letters via my Torah reading, but I did not really enjoy this book. I found it a bit forced much of the time, and trying a bit too hard to be some version of modern mystical.
I did however enjoy the mention of Mishnat Soferim in Mishna Berura, on page 18.

This book lives on my bedside table. It is one of the most inspiring, beautiful books I've ever read. It seems that this tiny book has endless layers of meaning. Hebrew has always been powerful to me, and this book is a door into it's beauty. I can't praise this book highly enough. Run, don't walk, to get yourself a copy if you love Hebrew.
