Afrikan Alphabets explores the long history and fantastic variety of writing systems in Africa, some of which continue to be used today. A popular title when it was released, Afrikan Alphabets quickly sold through its first printing and has gone on to garner critical and consumer praise. This special edition of Afrikan Alphabets includes a first-edition hardcover copy of the book enclosed in a kente-cloth dustjacket. A colophon that details the production of the edition is tipped into each book. The signature of Prince Njoya has also been tipped in beneath his photograph in the text. The jacket holds three artworks produced at the school he runs: a handwritten syllabary, prose selection, and poem with colored illustration. The jacketed book slips into a handmade, yellow and green case.
