I Wonder hardcover by type designer artist Marian Bantjes

208 pages Hard cover 15.5 cm × 24cm (approx. 6 × 9½ inches) Printed in full colour plus gold throughout. Release date: October, 2010 From the author/artist: This book is my masterpiece. I spent 15 months between 2009–2010 writing, illustrating and designing it. It’s a gorgeous hardcover, with gold and silver foils on a satin cloth, with gilded page edges. It’s printed in 5 colours throughout (mostly CMYK + Gold) on a coated stock. At a smallish size, it is a book meant for holding and reading, curled up in your favourite chair. Every single illustration is new, created for the book, and the content is not about my work (i.e. not a monograph), but instead combines graphic art with the written word, and lends my own contemplative but frequently amused voice to my observations of the world. Like new — gilded page end has what looks like a crease or slash when observed sideways (see photo). From a smoke-free, pet-free environment.
