I bought this book about eight years ago quite by chance in our local remaindered bookshop. Its a huge tome with quirky pasted in colour ilustrations and I love it!! Besides being an excellent read of a very interesting man (Dwiggins was a noted typographer ie font designer) its a privelige to be allowed into the world of his miniature theatre. The photography is excellent, both of Dwiggins and his friends, real and wooden.I also feel that its a view into a world that is long gone, a sort of intellectual lifestyle that tv and digital crowds out, would never allow to germinate or develop.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_...
