Customer reviews Perfect for your backseat driver by .. L. Campbell (CT)
My 5-year-old LOVES street signs. He draws them, reads them and even has little toy signs for his cars and trains. This book is the perfect companion to his collection. The pictures are really nice and for a child beginning to read, it's a great little book.
Signs in our world by .. Coral Smith (Melbourne, Victoria Australia)
My 4 year old grandson really enjoyed this book. He loves asking about the signs as we are driving.
Literacy on the road by .. Afrika A. Mills (Randolph, MA)
This book was great for our son, who LOVES looking at signs on the road when we're driving around.
The Perfect Book for Younger Sign Lovers by .. J.B. Stanley (Richmond, VA)
My son is three and a half and is in love with this book. After reviewing the signs neatly organized by category in this book, he has been thrilled to locate the same signs out on the road. It has made driving to school and on errands a very educational experience. He ought to pass his own driver's test with flying colors in 13 years!

Product Description This volume is a rich resource for the study of time as represented by the signs of the zodiac and occupations of the months, documented in the comprehensive files of the Index of Christian Art at Princeton University. The measurement and documentation of time has been a universal issue since the dawn of civilization--and no more so than in the medieval period, when images representing the signs of the zodiac and occupations of the months were commonly used. Nature and the occupations or labors that each month brought are reflected in earthly calendars, while the movements of the heavens and their impact on mankind were recorded in the signs of the zodiac. The changing compositions that were used to represent these twin calendars in several hundred works of art are documented in this volume, which provides an unrivalled visual record for the student and scholar.

Product Description Famed German type designer renders 493 symbols: religious, alchemical, imperial, runes, property marks, etc. Timeless. Customer reviews Pretty neat  by .. J. Bedwell (louisiana)
Although it seems the author can just attribute nearly any sign to some sort of christian meaning it is a pretty decent book. I was expecting something more along occult lines but it does have some intresting symbols. Don't believe everything you read.
The Book of Signs (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)  by .. Maven McCloud (Pittsburgh, PA)
This is the second Dover Pictorial book I have purchased and I was disappointed with both editions. This book at least has the meaning listed below the symbol. I bought this book as a reference material for a graphic symbolism class and was unable to find anything I needed. The book contains a general overview and is a very basic piece of reading material which may be good for beginners on the subject.
pleasent viewing by .. ()
Koch was a type setter with qualifications in Theology.
Primarily the works value is asthetic, I find it worth owning as a cheap collectable addition to my shelf.
Brief histories of each sign have a slight Christian slant, although not over bearing.
Illustrations are made from beautiful wood cuts and the type is of his own design.
Besides peeking the interests of occultist and broad minded Christians it is considered of value by graphic artists.
Heavily Illustrated  by .. E. Fegley (United States)
This is a well illustrated book on symbols. I would not call it an essential book for research purposes but it is a nice addition to the library. Some of the symbology is redundant (the furca is illustrated at least 3 times within the book) and I don't find all the explanations agreeable with other resources.
A Graphic Historical Reference Book by .. rareoopdvds (San Diego, CA United States)
Rudolph Kock, graphic designer, typesetter and bookbinder put together these some 400+ signs along with a good historical capsule along each symbol. I found it to be useful when looking up a symbol and to understand some aspect of the sign, although not entirely in full, but a brief understanding of its roots. While not every sign of occultism is assimulated in this book, there is still plenty for one to be satisfied with. Most of the signs are from Early Christian traditions and those that have stemmed from that religion. Orginally these designs were woodcuts by Frik Kredel, Offenbach and Main. The font used to print in the book was created by Koch himself known as magere deutsche type. Originally published in 1930, this Dover edition is worth every penny, for the artist and the occultist.

Customer reviews A funny review by .. ()
This book contains hilarious signs like 'injured cow injures farmer with ax'. Some of the signs are real and some are not like the one above. In my opinion it is a very good and funny book. But some may find this book disturbing and I would say it also has dark humour.

Product Description Signs and Symbols is a fascinating history of communication, covering picture writing, alphabets, numerals, as well as signs and symbols in religion, magic, science, industry, and much more. The author's style is clear, concise and compelling. Concepts are well explained and profusely illustrated. Customer reviews good for english study by .. KADOWAKI Osamu (Sendai, Miyagi JAPAN)
For explaining the discussion about sign and symbols the writer use easier words and sentences. That is most important for us, foreigners. Signs snd symbols themselves are interesting. So we can continue reading. And the easy sentenced help us. Many high-school students who do not speak english may read this book without dictionary. I think this is useful for english reading text.

Customer reviews Sorry - disappointed by .. Student (Bay area, CA USA)
The booklet is very small (6x7), not durable, and many of the pictures are dated. It is written from the child's perspective, he and his father are collecting his mother from the Philadelphia airport. The story seems to indirectly imply pickup at the arrival gate, which has been stopped a few years ago. Could benefit from an update.
