B is for Brilliant
As we limp towards Christmas with the prospect of a week or so of gorging, grinning and gagging in equal measure, a welcome beacon of light has appeared at the end of the gloomy prospect of January & February looming large…
For in March 2012 a truly exceptional book is being published by Merrell entitled ‘An Alphabet of London’. And it does exactly what it says on the cover – a fabulous, urbane, inspiring and quirky illustrated alphabet: half guessing-game, half coffee table art book. The man responsible for this must-have is Christopher Brown, an illustrator who has been at the forefront of his profession for… oooh many many years now(!)
Each page boasts a set of exquisite lino-cut illustrations, some depicting the more obvious London landmarks and some which are far more personal and subtle (and great fun to try guessing what they are – there’s an index at the back to find out if you’re correct).
