There’s always some newly released book that won’t leave my thoughts until I’m able to get my hands on it. New material from McSweeney’s is often the object of my sights and right now that’s become the case again with the newly released retrospective: Art of McSweeney’s.
Created by the McSweeney’s staff to commemorate their 11th (or 12th) anniversary, Art of McSweeney’s showcases their award-winning art and design across all the company’s activities (which includes the Believer magazine and Wholphin DVDs). The book features hundreds of images, interviews with collaborators such as Chris Ware and Michael Chabon, and dozens of insights into McSweeney’s visual experience of reading.
