Efficient visuality forces one to grab this manifesto of a book and also underlines the message of zero tolerance on sexual abuse, harassment and use of power. Due to the informative design the various chapters of the book are easily distinguishable, attention paid to the last detail speaks of set purpose and power. Clever illustrations with hashtags continuously multiplying demonstrate clearly the shocking amount of metoo-cases.

The tome on the confusion of 1918 Finnish Civil War builds on strong pictorial material. Tonefully reproduced treasures from the archives gain power through the no-nonsense layout and the choice of materials. The surprise hidden under the flyleaf feels even more meanin

Innovative details with graph papers, numbering on the chapter covers, neon highlights, and the bold rhythm in pictures are guaranteed to keep the attention high and help to perceive the vast entirety. A folderlike calico cover with fresh white print and a rare binding choice add the final touches to a grand book.

A poison-green mushroom greets us on the cover of the cookbook, on the inside pages the big and strong illustrations glow in vigorous colours which reappear also on the margins of more traditional, informative photos. This is a delightfully anarchic approach on the theme of a common cookbook.
