Probably. Her book is subtitled "The story of writing systems in the West"
(whatever they might be). Reviews are hard to come by - the only one I can
find online is a fiercely hostile one by the notoriously prickly Peter T.
Daniels (I have managed to clash with him myself on more than one subject):
he claims expertise in Semitic philology, but probably ranges as widely as
Altman herself.
The book was on my 'Maybe' list, but is steadily moving down it!
