A New York Times Editors’ Choice of 2014

Take Away the A is a fun, imaginative romp through the alphabet. The idea behind the book is that within every language there are words that change and become a different word through the simple subtraction of a single letter. In other words, without the “A,” the Beast is Best. Or, without the “M,” a chomp becomes a chopthough it could be that this particular play on words didn’t even make it into the book, there are so many! We certainly don’t want to give too much away.
