This book was kind of meh. It's outdated in that it was written in 1953 and some of the information is obsolete. It's also outdated in that the author is casually racist and seems to use a somewhat "Whig history" approach of seeing the English Latin alphabet as the natural goal of the history of writing. That said, it had some interesting information.
