My kind of book ... no reading required

I am back! Just had some homemade Indian food, talking to Bri about what is going on here and catching up with the dogs. AND the sun is shining.

I would love to own this book, Irma Boom's: The wild and wonderful SHV Think Book, a masterpiece of book design. I have found one used on for $8,000!

 

She also designed this book - Book, No. 5 Culture Chanel, 2013. The Amsterdam-based designer Irma Boom has made some innovative books, and a staggering 20 percent have found a home in a permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Arts.1 Such books are truly an experience — objects to be appreciated — even when they are technically vehicles for other artists. Indeed, Boom pushes the boundaries of bookmaking. In 2013, she completed a book commissioned by Chanel for its Chanel No. 5 perfume. This book is not printed, only embossed, in white. Would love to have this book too!


 
 
I was checking my TIAA account and noticed a ZERO balance! That was a heart-stopping moment. They told me that the company changed from TIAA to Fidelity but had not informed me they were transferring the money. So I called my Fidelity rep that I am pretty close to and he is looking into it for me. Well, that got me going this morning

I laughed when I saw putin commenting on his landslide victory. When you eliminate all of your competition ... landslide victories are sure to follow.

Sorry I have just disappeared. I feel like I have emptied my mind all all thoughts the last week. I finally ran across something that interest me when I discovered Irma Boom ... then my laptop crapped out. 

And she made smaller versions.
