After the success of last year's Alphabet-a-Day project, hand-lettering one complete alphabet each weekday, I'm thrilled to announce one of the most exciting projects of my career so far. All 250 alphabets are now available - for reference or pleasure - in my first monograph, ABC250.
This 258-page, 8"x8" limited edition soft cover book is being printed in Toronto at the esteemed Coach House Books.
The projected cost of a limited edition run of 100 books is approximately $2300. In order meet this goal, I'm graciously looking for a minimum of 47 backers to pre-order the book at the retail cost of $49.
