The Word Trove by Ellas Vorpahl.

I was given a copy of this book in return for a review.

Well what can I say.

Part of the enjoyment of reading a book is the cover must give me the desire to open up the pages.
This is quite an appropriate cover for the book.

The book itself is deep blue with a gold candle on the front ..again quite nice.
It also includes a book mark ribbon which I really like.

There are illustrations by Lena Tschka, nee Stadler ..the books tells us that her visual language shows a love of detail and a variety of expressive techniques while remaining sensitive to the essential and that "The Word Trove" is the first novel she has designed...
This I feel is certainly true.

The author tells us that the content has taken 10 years in the making.
This surprises me, as quite honestly I was not impressed by it.

It would probally be a book aimed at a different type of person from myself as this is certainly not one for me.
