Intro to ASCII art.

It's pretty simplistic. It's an alphabet book. There are so many of these out there, and it's very hard to do write. It's hard to do them decently, even. This is a decent one. But it's really not more interesting than any other non-terrible alphabet book out there.

Basically, it has a two-page spread of each letter and an object whose name starts with that letter. For example, "I" is for "insect," and it shows a lowercase "i" turning into an insect, with the stem splitting in half and the dot is the head, and the split part becomes the wings, and it gradually changes into an insect. It's kind of an interesting idea. It think rather than a book, it might be better as a series of posters. It's more like an art installation than a book. The artistic transformation is nice. I'm glad I read it, but I don't need to read it again. Check it out from the library.
