Bank Holiday Sale!
From August 27-September 2 I will be holding the first British/European sale of Alphabets merchandise.
August Bank Holiday being a British madness (sorry, institution), this sale will apply only to orders from the British Isles and Europe.
(Don’t worry, there’s going to be a Black Friday sale for those in the US who like that madness (sorry, institution)).
Here are the details in brief:
Books 20-40% off
No fewer than five of the Endangered Alphabets stable of books will be on sale for this limited period:
The Atlas of Endangered Alphabets, the perfect introduction to my work and the world of rare and threatened scripts. £24 plus shipping.
By Hand, perhaps the first serious investigation of the importance of writing as a manual act in a digital era. £24 plus shipping.
The Endangered Alphabets Calendar 2027, so you can get an early jump on your Christmas presents with a dozen stunning photos of my recent carvings. £15 plus shipping
Endangered Alphabets Word Search and Endangered Alphabets Sudoku—serious fun for adults, and positively addictive for bright 8-14-year-olds.

See the photos at the foot of this post: two of the fascinatingly geometric Adinkra symbols from Ghana, perennial favourites (note the east-of-the-Atlantic spelling) and great gifts. Both are roughly 12” x 10”, but what this is in meters and hectares I’m not sure. I’m from out of town.
Supplies are limited. I know everyone says that, but as I can only afford to print or order a few at a time, it’s really true! Contact me if you have questions about any other Alphabets merchandise, and we can haggle. I mean, come to a gentleperson’s agreement.
The fascinating, whimsical, remarkably symmetrical Adinkra symbol called Funtumfunefu Denkyemfunefu, or “Siamese Crocodiles.” The crocodiles are joined at the stomach. It represents a piece of proverbial wisdom about the importance of community and collaboration: why fight each other when the food ends up in the same place?

The beautiful Adinkra symbol Aya, the fern, standing for resilience and resourcefulness.
