It's a "cookbook," but the recipes go something like: "Contact Trader Vic's and order a 40 pound suckling pig to serve 15. Have Hanley take the Carey Cadillac to the side entrance and receive the pig at exactly 6:45..." (all hand-calligraphed), and then they're accompanied by these fantastic full-color ink illustrations. I love this because it plays on the "content" of a cookbook, which is usually very utilitarian and content-driven, when the real star is actually the artwork. Thanks for getting me to think a little bit more about book content vs. form. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8232572935931441295.post-74250037737613980042010-12-13T21:15:59.328-08:002010-12-13T21:15:59.328-08:00Very helpful, Ms. Julia!
