This book is amazing! It was one of my favorite books when I was little. I still remember asking my mom what some of the words meant. (such as ennui and awl) It's a really clever alphabet book and stands out against all the "A is for Apple" stuff. It's morbid, obviously, so, if that's not for you, I wouldn't get it. If that's something you enjoy though, this book is definitely a must read.
