Publisher’s Brief
“A fresh and modern feel that is practical, yet beautiful. It should be highly giftable, but of a size and shape that still feels cute and readable. It won’t go out on tramps, but it could sit on a coffee table’ – We were wrong on that last point! Carla’s light, accessible work meant people did take the book up mountains with them.”
