Field notes
Lantern & Ladder describes a three-book progression from pre-writing lines and curves through letters, numbers, words, and sentences. Its method repeats three physical page cues: a starting dot, numbered arrows showing stroke order, and assistance that fades across each row. The press lists specific formats and page counts, including 64 pages for Lines & Letters and 70 for Letters & Numbers. Dutch editions and a colouring series are presented as future projects.
