The Oldest Thing — Ruth van Beek. Published by Van Zoetendaal.
The work of Ruth van Beek is made for books. All her books are special, but I think this is one of her best ones. The design and edit are great. The small size (12x16cm) is a very brave decision, and balanced well with the modest hardcover: a gem.
