Gestural drawings, a gold foil title, and the red hardback cover make this book luxurious in its simplicity. The cream jacket ties all the textures together, even if a third of the book does get dusty.
This book had been designed for eye and hand, combining several rich and touchy materials. The book had to be a special gift for the bookshop’s loyal customers on its 50th anniversary.
