The Ultimate Alphabet
by Mike Wilks

Description
Now in paperback: the book that tantalized readers when it was first published in 1987--and inspired an international contest. Each page of this intriguing and artful book shows a letter of the alphabet accompanied by an illustrious illustration containing hundreds of objects and images beginning with that letter. Imaginative, ingenious, and inventive.--Time.Tags

A contest ran years ago where reader's had to identify 7,777 objects depicted in this book of illustrated letters A to Z. Each letter has so many words depicted starting with each letter. A Workbook accompanied this book. Hours of fun, beautiful paintings, educational, eye candy!
Found in a suitcase containing various items that belonged to my parents, given to my sister by our stepmother in July 2014. My mother died in 1984, my father in 1987. The suitcase has been in the attic since 2002 according to the newspapers the things were wrapped up in, and the book smells very musty. It seems vaguely familiar but I can't remember if I bought it for my dad or if he showed it to me. He has not made any annotations in the workbook.
