About this product
Product Information
uthor Marc Drogin begins where both creation and destruction had their roots: with that most wonderful gift, the alphabet. He traces the mythic origins of the alphabet in ancient, classical and medieval cultures and relates how letters, words, and numbers had a magical significance in the past. After describing the divine origins of the alphabet, he offers a glimpse of some of the magic and miracles associated with the written word, and goes on to the adventures and vicissitudes of books down through the years.

very well packaged and arrived on time (or would have if the customs centre would actually do its work properly... but the seller has no power over that :D ). book in a very good condition, as described (no mention of the previous owner's name and full address on the 2nd page - but the item was sold as 'preowned' so although it wasn't expected, it's no big problem). thank you.
