The Most Beautiful Book in the World

posted by Blake

Filipino Librarian writes "From the International Herald Tribune:
When Irma Boom suggested designing a book in an unusually squat size and shape, it didn't go down well with the publisher. Nor did her insistence that it should have a white cover, raggedy page edges and an introductory essay printed in type that starts off big and becomes smaller on successive pages. Don't forget to look for the heading 'Multimedia' and click on the book or 'View' to see photos of 'the world's most beautiful books.'"
