A Word to the Eyes by Sudio Sudarsan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The dying art of Calligram is used in this highly illustrative and artistic book. The author sums up their meaning in the book right from the start: “Applying the principles of visual learning, every word is creatively sculpted to flash itself onto the mind’s eye, ….”. Essentially, you could call this book a dictionary, with words ranging from abase, to iconoclastic and ending at zombie. Each word is given an illustration, described, then given in a sentence, or example and also defined whether it is a noun or adjective or such. The purpose of the illustrations is to help you recall and remember the words better and this will build your vocabulary with more words that can better describe what you intend to say.
Honestly, this is a great book to have if such interests you. I would suggest getting the paperback version as it will be easier to bookmark and revisit certain words. I found the illustrations to be on the nose and to the point. Very well done.
