Hardcover. Condition: new. Alcorn, John (illustrator). Hardcover. Just as vibrant and stunning as its companion title--1962 New York Times book of the year BOOKS!--this vintage title by Murray McCain and illustrated by John Alcorn will dazzle and delight in AMMO's updated, reissue edition. Following the release of BOOKS! in 1962, WRITING! was published in 1964, and like its predecessor, it features charming, hand-drawn illustrations and inventive typography. Celebrating the beauty of the written word, WRITING! echoes the sentiments of BOOKS! in its exploration of language, letters, and lovely, lilting literature. Alcorn's vivid graphics and impressive illustrations illuminate McCain's humorous and imaginative storytelling. Children are sure to find inspiration to create their own fantastical tales or wordy doodles, as they pore over each page of mid-century design in this new, large format. This is a book about Writing: about alphabets and words, and how they came to be, and all the wonderful things you can do with them. Look through its pages and see for yourself why this book is for you! Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Catalán. Encuadernación: Cartoné Colección: Los cuentos de la cometa Com explicar-li a un infant què és un llibre? Aquesta és la pregunta que el 1962 es van plantejar Murray McCain i John Alcorn, i va donar com a resultat Llibres!, una de les obres més valorades en la història del llibre infantil illustrat. Mitjançant un rítmic joc textual i visual de preguntes, respostes, asseveracions i exclamacions, el petit lector d'aquest volum descobrirà que el llibre és objecte, indústria, text, llenguatge, coneixement, emoció, aprenentatge, diversió, tipografia, lectura, imatge, disseny, edició i, en definitiva, una finestra oberta a tot. Com explicar-li a un infant què és un llibre? La resposta de McCain i Alcorn no està a Llibres! sinó a l'experiència de la seva lectura. Una proposta que el 1962 li va valer el reconeixement de l'American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA) com un dels 50 millors llibres de l'any i com a millor llibre infantil de l'any per New York Times. John Alcorn (1935-1992) fue un célebre diseñador gráfico e ilustrador norteamericano. En sus inicios trabajó para Esquire, CBS y fue uno de los miembros fundadores de Push Pin Studios junto con Milton Glaser y Seymour Chwast. Diseñador de un buen número de portadas de libros, también ilustró y diseño diversos libros infantiles y fue el diseñador de los carteles y de los títulos de crédito de algunas de las películas de Federico Fellini. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
