Daedal Doodle [signed] [first edition]

This book is for people who crave new words and want to expand their vocabularic horizons; who play Scrabble,do Crossword Puzzles, love New Yorker Cartoons and aren't too lazy to reach for the OED; lovers of M.C Escher, Salvador Dali, Dr. Seuss and hungry logophiles alike. For almost three years, wherever he went, Victor Stabin brought a dictionary along. Combing through over 8000 pages of a variety of dictionaries he came up with the alliterations that inhabit this work. Inspired by reading many, many ABC books to his young daughters, love of words, and his incessant inability to stop doodling, he unflinchingly created the improbable alliterative combinations and illustrations that inhabit this work. In his heart he knew he was creating a work that despite the use of unusually obtuse words, would have broad appeal and challenge the ABC status quo. Stabin's ultimate result is a platform that bridges literate curiosity across multiple generations using mostly common and sometimes extraordinarily uncommon imagery in new and inventive ways . Ladies and Gentleman without further ado, presented for your literary and retinal delight...Daedal Doodle
