Title page of ABD

The work is the first Estonian language book with a title page. For the first time, the book included a guide on how to teach reading. In the Estonian language, the abbreviation "ABC" is not used for the alphabet, because the letter C does not appear in the Estonian vocabulary.[2][3]
