Remarques
Published in the series Psyche Miniatures. Burke/ Kindel/ Walker, p.288-289: "This book is a pictorial/ verbal primer of Basic English, presenting vocabulary and simple formulations in Basic with accompanying visualizations in Isotype. (...) The book is atypical of Isotype in its attempted equivalence of words and pictures. Their functions were usually complementary in Isotype work."
