Additional notes:
Each page contains a two-letter word that combines with the two-letter word on the facing page to form a four-letter word.

Almost as soon as English spelling was standardized, there were efforts to reform it. Largely because of its ability to absorb words from other languages, it is difficult to formulate rules for pronouncing any given combination of letters. So let's celebrate the weirdness! 14 four-letter words are bisected to challenge your perceptions.

Designed and printed from wood and foundry type and from linoleum cuts onto Zerkall Book paper.
