Book Reviews of The Alphabet Versus the Goddess: The Conflict Between Word and Image
Book Review: This is an extraordinary idea
Summary: 5 Stars
This grand book is novel in its concept and accessible in its content. I have not found in years a set of notions that have fired the book community around me as this book has. Literacy has the aura of such necessity and legitimacy that few have ever questioned the dark side. To span as much time as is covered in this book is a daunting task and it is handled well. I would have personally prefered a bit more meat on the bones of book & manuscript production and the effect of paper as a negative side of the black letter. But it is not written specifically for the specialist and there in lies its charm. This is a terrific read-T.Ely
