Inside The New Artisans by Olivier Dupon.
A really beautiful book showcasing the work of 75 artisans from across a number of different countries. I really like the way the author thinks it's time to reclaim the word 'artisan' and put it up in lights. Too true. There are very good reasons for having birthdays and this book is one of them (even though it's a tad early). Even better when one gets to specifically point out the gift.
I can't imagine this as an e-book, by the way. It just wouldn't do it justice. I think Louise Adler (from University of Melbourne Press) is right when she says that some books will always remain available in hard copy. I think this is one.
Aren't they the best presents - exactly what you're after. I especially like that drawing.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful book, I swear.
ReplyDeleteI really want to get my hands on that book. So far I've only glanced through it in the bookshop.
