Words To Use
Ok so heres a little rant about a thesaurus found the other day. This book was originally published in 1971, and republished in 1980 by gage. The cover art really draws you in and stands out among other books since the aesthetic really feels like a certain era. The fascinating thing about this book is the fact that it is designed and illustrated by Alan Daniel, and printed and bound in Canada. The over all Book is layed out very unstructured, and each page is completey different based on the words used which is part of the beauty of this book, It may not appeal to everyone and could even infuriate some of those modern day eccentric designers who like clean structured layouts with clearer hierarchy and what have you, but to me this book is a one of a kind and will always have a place on the shelf.
