No, I am not talking about re-gifting. I am referring to gorgeously printed books that are illustrated with artwork or photographs of distant places.
A good example is the Kew Pocketbooks Garden books that are a collection of illustrated watercolors, oils, prints, and drawings from the Royal Botanical Garden’s collection (not many words - hence unreadable). Each book is dedicated to a single species covering separate topics (i.e. Wildflowers, Carnivorous Plants and Fungi).
Another example is the Wes Anderson inspired travel book Accidently Wes Anderson Adventures. You are familiar with the films of Anderson—The Grand Budapest Hotel, The French Dispatch and Asteroid City, the latter which you probably still don’t understand even after sitting through it twice.
The book matches the look and feel of a Wes Anderson film. No reading necessary.
We will have these books and more at our next popup at the Freedom Farmer’s Market at the Carter Center in Atlanta on Saturday morning November 23rd. This will likely be our second-to-last pop-up of the year.
