Dimensions: 2 inches high, 1.5 inches wide, and 1 inch thick.
Dutch book designer Irma Boom‘s recent monograph is barely larger than a box of matches. Containing 704 miniature pages of book projects from her massive library of work, Boom’s BOOM shocked fans and critics alike with its unconventional format and approach. But my outlook is: who can be surprised by Irma Boom? Her groundbreaking book work hovers somewhere between art, design and pure genius and is always a delight. The New York Times digs into the details of the project in this in-depth article. I’d recommend reading it and then crossing your fingers for the printing of a second edition.
