Saul Bass is one of my all time favorite designers, I love how he made the illustrations in this book so graphically pleasing, each page would make a perfect poster. And his colors are just fantastic.
Hey Brune, they should republish this book too. I only wish I owned this book, I got it from the library, it's really rare and I couldn't find any for sale on the internet. Good luck in finding a copy!
Oh my goodness. The way he used space, proportion, and the parameters of the page just astound me, even though I've seen a million brilliant illustrations from the '50s, '60s and '00s. Thanks for scanning the whole book!
Wohoh I didn't know Saul Bass designed kid's book, this one is great. Did you buy it ? do you know if it's still available to buy somewhere ?
