Profusely illustrated, this book includes some insights into writing systems, everyday life and the interaction between hand-made work and the fascinating urban environment of Mexico City. For lovers or Mexico, Spanish, travel, and handcrafts.

“Ms. Howard's take on the much-maligned Mexican letterscape is incisive, insightful, and extraordinarily well-written, as well as being chuck full of eye candy.  Additionally, if you ever have a chance to see one of Lorena's excellent lecture on the topic, do seek her out—it'll change the way you look at signage in general.”
