123 A BOOK TO SEE by William Wondriska [2011]

Corraini [2011]. Hardcover, unpaginated.

Originally published in 1959, "123, A Book To See" is a wordless story about numbers from one to ten in which the abstract nature of pure numbers interacts with the tangibility of the objects used to define them.

Set side by side over the two-page spreads, bold black numbers are matched with various everyday objects drawn in Wondriska’s delightfully simple style and printed in red. Together they create a visual language in which words are unnecessary. 

Bound in bright yellow paper-covered boards with printed red endpapers. No dust jacket, as issued.

First Corraini edition manufactured in Italy.

Unread copy. Minimal surface or edge wear to board corners from handling and storage.
