Julian Rothenstein (creator of our Gift division s popular Redstone line of cards and calendars) turns his idiosyncratic eye towards eccentric alphabets, emblems, and logos discovered in avant-garde modernist publications and other curious sources. Hundreds of examples of graphic ephemera sit side-by-side in inimitable Redstone fashion, mixing peculiar charm with useful reference in one stunning package. Special features include an amazing alphabet, circa 1926, created from photographs of a dancing woman; original test-types for opticians charts; pages from sign artists manuals; and coolly elegant designs from fin de si cle French, German, Italian, and Czech journals. Nearly all of this rare and beautiful material is reproduced here for the first time since its original publication. An art book like no other, ABZ is a collection of typographic oddities taken to the next level of appreciation. 1203535 7 2003 Abz total:13|5:2|4:9|3:2| 13 52 22 2 1215094 0811839818 9780811839815 13 2 4.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181943054m/1215094.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1215094.Abz 4 0 false Sat Jun 16 05:36:59 -0700 2007 Sat Jun 16 05:44:08 -0700 2007 1215094 0811839818 9780811839815 13 2 4.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181943054m/1215094.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1215094.Abz 4 1 false Thu Jan 10 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Oct 01 13:19:53 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 01 13:21:31 -0700 2008 1215094 0811839818 9780811839815 13 2 4.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181943054m/1215094.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1215094.Abz 0 0 false Sun Oct 04 09:37:58 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 04 09:38:00 -0700 2009 1215094 0811839818 9780811839815 13 2 4.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181943054m/1215094.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1215094.Abz 0 0 false Sun Mar 22 15:05:44 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 22 15:05:46 -0700 2009 1215094 0811839818 9780811839815 13 2 4.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181943054m/1215094.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1215094.Abz 4 0 false Mon Mar 02 12:19:50 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 02 12:19:57 -0800 2009 1215094 0811839818 9780811839815 13 2 4.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181943054m/1215094.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1215094.Abz 3 0 false Tue Dec 16 12:21:48 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 16 12:21:48 -0800 2008 1215094 0811839818 9780811839815 13 2 4.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181943054m/1215094.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1215094.Abz 0 0 false Mon Nov 10 14:30:01 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 10 14:30:01 -0800 2008 904322 1870003330 9781870003339 0 0 4.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179331856m/904322.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/904322.ABZ 0 0 false Mon Oct 13 20:11:51 -0700 2008 Mon Oct 13 20:11:51 -0700 2008 1215094 0811839818 9780811839815 13 2 4.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181943054m/1215094.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1215094.Abz 0 0 false Mon Sep 15 21:48:46 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 15 21:48:46 -0700 2008 1215094 0811839818 9780811839815 13 2 4.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181943054m/1215094.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1215094.Abz 4 0 false Wed Aug 13 17:05:26 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 13 17:05:26 -0700 2008 1215094 0811839818 9780811839815 13 2 4.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181943054m/1215094.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1215094.Abz 4 0 false Wed Aug 13 16:39:28 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 13 16:39:28 -0700 2008 1215094 0811839818 9780811839815 13 2 4.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181943054m/1215094.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1215094.Abz 0 0 false Wed Jul 02 06:50:02 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 02 06:50:02 -0700 2008 1215094 0811839818 9780811839815 13 2 4.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181943054m/1215094.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1215094.Abz 4 0 false Tue Mar 04 10:00:49 -0800 2008 Tue Mar 04 10:00:49 -0800 2008 1215094 0811839818 9780811839815 13 2 4.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181943054m/1215094.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1215094.Abz 3 0 false Thu Jan 31 22:53:28 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 31 22:53:28 -0800 2008 1215094 0811839818 9780811839815 13 2 4.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181943054m/1215094.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1215094.Abz 0 0 false Fri Jan 11 07:52:22 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 11 07:52:22 -0800 2008 1215094 0811839818 9780811839815 13 2 4.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181943054m/1215094.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1215094.Abz 0 0 false Sun Dec 30 09:23:32 -0800 2007 Sun Dec 30 09:23:32 -0800 2007 1215094 0811839818 9780811839815 13 2 4.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181943054m/1215094.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1215094.Abz 4 0 false Tue Nov 13 19:37:49 -0800 2007 Tue Nov 13 19:38:03 -0800 2007 1215094 0811839818 9780811839815 13 2 4.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181943054m/1215094.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1215094.Abz 5 0 false Wed Aug 15 23:50:40 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 15 23:50:40 -0700 2007 1215094 0811839818 9780811839815 13 2 4.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181943054m/1215094.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1215094.Abz 4 0 false Wed Aug 01 11:01:54 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 01 11:01:54 -0700 2007 1215094 0811839818 9780811839815 13 2 4.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181943054m/1215094.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1215094.Abz 5 0 false Mon Jul 23 05:37:13 -0700 2007 Mon Jul 23 05:37:13 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1215094
