A is for Apple - such a classic phrase. Despite all the alphabet books around now, covering every theme and style, A is still for apple. Yet this alphabet offering hardly looks like a boring textbook. It looks more like a magnificent brocade doodle. I wonder how much Walter Anderson planned his block and how much he just set to with a blade, trusting in the medium to produce something with interest and impact.
