Mind blowing. It really amazes me to see such works. It is a wonder how some minds work.

There was a show of his books earlier this year at one of the galleries at 49 Geary. In person, they are simply amazing! The lady at the gallery told me that it only takes him about two weeks to finish a piece. But what I want to know is where he gets his books?

This companion blog to www.rightreading.com explores the full gamut of print and electronic publication, from conception, research, and editing through design, typesetting, and image preparation, through paper, print, and pixel on to marketing and sales. It seeks to integrate the editorial and design functions, which too seldom communicate effectively. Books, authors, translation, and reviewing are also covered.
