Evertype would like to announce the publication of an edition of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", printed in the Shaw Alphabet.
In his will, George Bernard Shaw left instructions (and some funds) for the development of a new regular alphabet for the English language. A design by Ronald Kingsley Read was chosen. In 1962, Shaw’s play Androcles and the Lion was printed in what became known as the Shaw Alphabet, or Shavian. This edition of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is written entirely in that same alphabet, with fonts specially designed by Michael Everson. A page with links to Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk is available at www.evertype.com/books/alice-en-Shaw.html . Bookstores can order copies at a discount from the publisher.
