But oh, lush ink-saturated pages can brighten a slate-skied day.

Today I'm pleased to team up with a publisher I love, Taschen, who makes beautiful books on topics as varied as tree houses, geometry and contemporary illustration, for a giveaway marking a blitz sale that begins today at their temporary Schlüterstraße location (and indeed around the world).
© TASCHEN, from 100 Illustrators
Leave a comment below to win your own copy of the slipcased two-volume 100 Illustrators, which includes beloved Berlin-based illustrators Olaf Hajek and Christoph Niemann. I'll choose a winner at random on Sunday.
I'm guessing husbands probably aren't allowed to enter (although you would save on postage if you chose me), but I throw my name in the ring anyway!

Amazing! I guess adding another title to my collection won't be too onerous! :)

Liebe Sylee, ich sende Dir herzliche Grüße aus dem Atelier petit4,

I will pirouette over black ice to personally procure my copy of lushness that will armour me against these grey grey days...(I mean anything to save a little postage.). :))

I'm fond of taschen books (and of your blog, by the way...)

Einstein told us that imagination is more important than knowledge. Perhaps these books will enable me to fly away...

Really lovely to see everyone's enthusiasm - thank you for that. Oh, for a tableful of books to dispense! Just now I trundled over to www.random.org and punched in '16': '11', it replied. Congratulations, Schlachtplatte!

Curses! I always knew that Random.org had something against me. Oh well. Congratulations to Schlachtplatte in any case!
