Description

Inspired by the late, great Raymond Queneau, who is famous for writing a book whose sole subject was the letter 'E', illustrator Katja Spitzer and freelance writer Sebastian Gievert have teamed up to tackle that most quandarous of letters, the letter 'Q'. Translated from the German, with several additional passages for Q letters in the original text that don't have direct English counterparts, Quodlibet covers everything from famous German directors to obscure 18th century dances - each illustrated with mastery in four unique spot colours.
