The Night Life of Trees by Bhajju Shyam
My rating: 5/5 cats
let’s be honest. with this one, you’re not reading it for the articles.
the text of the book is fine – it’s just spare fragments of folklore from the gond tribe of central india about trees. but the book itself, as objet, well, that’s another matter entirely. it is a from a limited print-run, of which each book has been individually silk-screened onto thick handmade paper by this publisher: http://www.tarabooks.com/, and all of their books are gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous.
here:
so beautiful. love.
