Writing!
Just as vibrant and stunning as its companion title―1962 New York Times book of the year BOOKS!―this vintage title by Murray McCain and illustrated by John Alcorn will dazzle and delight in AMMO’s updated, reissue edition. Following the release of BOOKS! in 1962, WRITING! was published in 1964, and like its predecessor, it features charming, hand-drawn illustrations and inventive typography. Celebrating the beauty of the written word, WRITING! echoes the sentiments of BOOKS! in its exploration of language, letters, and lovely, lilting literature. Alcorn’s vivid graphics and impressive illustrations illuminate McCain’s humorous and imaginative storytelling.
Children are sure to find inspiration to create their own fantastical tales or wordy doodles, as they pore over each page of mid-century design in this new, large format.
This is a book about Writing: about alphabets and words, and how they came to be, and all the wonderful things you can do with them. Look through its pages and see for yourself why this book is for you!

Este libro es simplemente magnífico, un libro que con un juego tipográfico exquisito nos habla del acto de escribir.

Un suspiro de aire fresco, de dibujitos y letras, de colore sy formas para seguirse enamorando de la escribida.
"Escribir es dibujar con palabras
Y
las palabras
que eliges,
las expresiones
que usas,
el esfuerzo
que pones,
y las formas
que creas
son
(de nadie más)
SOLO TUYAS
y te pertenecen.

"Writing is pictures in words."
Some may think this book is a bit out of date but I really enjoyed it and hope that at least some kids today would as well. I read this short book because I just enjoy the wonderful illustrations by John Alcorn.
