Published in 1994 ISBN: 1561384505 Both Barnes & Noble.com and amazon.com have it, and it's fairly common with merchants at events (at least in the Midrealm!)

Who is the author & is it a new book?<<< It just so happens that I have my copy with me today so I can make copies for an upcoming Collegium class. The vital information on it is: The Illuminated Alphabet by Timothy Noad and Patricia Seligman Publisher is Running Press Copyright 1994 ISBN 1-56138-458-5 Full cost on inside cover is $24.95, but I believe I bought mine for $19.95 It is not a new book, it's been out several years and as someone mentioned, I think it may be out of print now. I did see a copy of it recently at my local Border's, however, so there are probably still some around. Try Bibliofind or a similar search engine.
