HANDBOOK
LEVY, JEAN-BENOÎT

Author Jean-Bénoît Levy is obsessed with hands. Not only has he collected, over the years, hundreds of examples backing up his notion of a worldwide system of hand-signs, as a designer and typographer he has also created his own hand alphabet called ´H-and-S.´ HandBook is Levy´s collection of handsigns from all over the world. The panoply of hands presented in this publication includes charming curiosities and laypersons´ creations as well as concepts by professional communicators-con?rming that hand signs constitute a global, inter-cultural metalanguage. As a handbook-or ´manual´-this publication advances our vision and invites us to observe our own surroundings with a new curiosity and sense of awareness.
