BLANKETS

This is a trailer that someone did for Craig Thompson's Blankets:



And then I found this short kind of funny B&W film that some folks did acting out the first part of his graphic novel when he recounts being a kid, when his father would punish him by throwing him in "the cubby hole."



Books like this are fun because you really can act them out!

BOOK DESIGN -- HABIBI

-- AUTHOR/ARTIST Craig Thompson --

Blankets is a really good graphic novel about a new, young relationship. It's a great teen read though it's shelved in the adult section in bookstores.



Since I liked it so much I bought this book.






I haven't yet read it but the design is gorgeous.

This is why books will live on (I hope!). There is a gold foil inlay on the cover and spine and the inside is equally well designed.

This is why books are wonderful!
