"This little book of the earliest, ancient Hebrew letters depicted together with their presumed original meanings was created as an extended, long distance collaboration between Philadephia and Jerusalem by Chris Kline and David Moss. It was printed by hand seriography in the city of brotherly love by Chris Kline with the help of Kayla Jones." --Colophon.

"Also relating to this ancient Hebrew Alphabet, we'll be gifting you with a rather wild, entirely hand printed colorful booklet that I did in collaboration with an artist named Chris Kline. I had seen Chris's work at an art fair and loved his imagination and color. I thought an alphabet book would be perfect. I created the outlines of the ancient Hebrew letters modeled slightly into the third dimension. I then told Chris the original meaning of each letter and let him fantasize on how to fill in the space. The result is delightful and somewhat psychedelic." --Email from David Moss.

Text in Paleo-Hebrew letters, colophon in English.
