A is for Ox: A Short History of the Alphabet by Lyn Davies

4.0

A clear, concise and interesting history. I don't know much about linguistics so I can't speak for the authenticity of what Davies is saying but it's certainly well presented, nicely detailed and easy to follow for the beginner. It's short, filled with lovely visuals and infused throughout with the human interest inherent in good information about past societies, which is a quality that always makes history nerds get excited. Definitely not an intimidating read. I enjoyed it a lot.
