Review of
The
Ultimate Alphabet, by Mike Wilks ISBN 0805001603
Five out of five stars
This book can
be considered the intelligent person’s equivalent of the “I Spy” series of
books. The artist/author has created a series of 26 very intricate paintings,
one for each letter of the English alphabet. Each image contains a large number
of objects that begin with the designated letter for that image.
Like all such
images, some of the objects are easy to discern while others are very hard.
Particularly challenging are some of the words that reference the objects. For
example, the image for the letter “s” is on the back cover and some of the
words ae “sabretache, selachian, siamang, spinode spokeshave, salomonica, and
strig.” Of these seven words, four fail the spell checker test.
If you want a
very hard challenge in identifying objects from an image where they are concentrated,
this is the book for you.
