Homophones Visualized is a witty book that illustrates
homophones--words that sound alike, but are spelled differently and have
completely different meanings.
This book uses clever and minimalist graphics to help illustrate the
differences between 100 pairs (or triplets or quadruplets) of words that
sound alike.
From beat and beet to flee and flea, baron and barren to golf and
gulf, each spread contains a pair or group of homophones and
corresponding illustrations that provide context for each word.

Modern Met
