The urban landscape will never look the same again. As Stephen T. Johnson demonstrates in a series of strikingly realistic pastels and watercolors, a simple sawhorse can contain the letter “A”—while lampposts alongside a highway can form a row of elegant, soaring Ys. This sophisticated, wordless alphabet book is sure to appeal to young and old alike.
