SCHOTTS SIGNIFICA (HB)

When do London cabbies take oranges and lemons? How do marmalade droppers sell newspapers? Who eats the forbidden brownie at Starbucks? Secret languages surround us. From graffiti writers, gondoliers, and gym rats to spies, sneakerheads, and Swifties - every group creates a private lingo of jargon and gesture that eludes the rest of the world. Painstakingly researched, lavishly illustrated and exquisitely designed, Schott’s Significa is not just a miscellany of secret languages but a celebration of the power of communication, the joy of connection and the delight of discovery.
