When I opened the envelope holding "An Extraordinary Theory of Objects
Stephanie LaCava's memoir of growing up in Paris as an outsider is sort of about the beautiful objects she collected and sort of about just growing up. Some of her collected objects adorn the cover but the illustrations continue throughout the book as well. The illustrations really help to give Stephanie's story a magical feel of adolescence and being in an unfamiliar space.
I actually read this book while I was in China and it was a perfect companion piece to my trip.
Plus, more autobiographies
and speaking of illustrations, remember that beautiful Charley Harper book?
