| The back cover says .......
Oh, hang on ............. the back cover says ............. hey, this's one of those books that don't have a back! You turn it over and the back is the same as the front, only upside down, get it? It has two approaches, two front pages. One side is the start to Anno's "Anamorphic Alphabet" with the capital letters then you turn the book over to start the "Anamorphic Alphabet" with the small letters. Very clever ..... and sneaky ........... haha. The book provides a few sheets of reflective silver paper which we're instructed to place inside a glass tumbler just like in the picture above. After placing the glass on the circle in the picture we are able to see the reflective picture in the glass like a mirror. |

| Here's two examples of Anno's alphabet. B is for Banjo ........ S is
for Sailing ship. In the middle of the book there's a section where you
can learn how to draw your own anamorphic drawings.
It's a very interesting book. |
