'I showed this to a friend and he said "Gorgeous!" I alternated between "Cool!" and "What the hell?" We both looked at it as a source for tattoo ideas. Eckhoff's collection of visual poetry plays with words and images inspired by Shorthand and Unifon ... This book will appeal to language enthusiasts and those interested in graphic design and/or symbology ... This book can be 'read,' or flipped through, in about 20 minutes, but it's worth revisiting. A feast for the eyes (and mind), this collection includes a 12-page rope alphabet, MC Escher-like phonic art, poems and comics with made up words ... and more.'
