For all those interested in books about the alphabet, I have found two that 
are well worth reading: (Sheypaeséa kinpá shéri fereshín shéri tá ferteynín 
chipyíren, zár makbashálit zhanyávu:)

These book are in the English Language. (Iíd fereshú tá Anglíit sholílu 
onyáren.)

Hooker; Barnes & Noble Books, New York 1990

and

THE ALPHABETIC LABYRINTH by Johanna Drucker; Thames and Hudson Ltd., London

These are some other books that I have enjoyed: (Shukhrám háit tamágit 
fereshú kiinú zhoyése isterávit onyáren:)
