Synopsis:
The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over the Lazy Dog turns an old English pangram — used in printing and typography since the late 1800’s — into a typographic adventure that will entertain children and typophiles alike. The book begins as expected: the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. However, no one really knows why it happened or what happened next — until now.
Follow the “lazy” dog on a typographic adventure through Memphis, Gotham, and Georgia.
