Letter Perfect: the A-to-Z History Of Our Alphabet by David Sacks
5.0
The part of Letter Perfect that made me laugh out loud: (This is from Chapter G): "The G spot—a small region of female sexual sensitivity, distinct from the clitoris and located somewhere along the vagina's front wall—is named for German gynecologist Ernst Grafenberg, who announced its existence in writings of 1950s. Since then, generations of husbands and boyfriends have failed to find it."
Fantastic book, one that I will reference and reread parts of. I was not overly fond of the formatting, though. There was a lot of information, often so much that David Sacks had to go off on tangents, and these tangents would be in separate boxes. The problem was that these boxes would cut off the main text, interrupting my reading. I also had issues with the font in these boxes of information; it didn't read as smoothly as I would like, and the long captions for images depicting the evolution of letters would be italicized and difficult to read. Otherwise, this is a great, great book.
