Day 2 of #20daysofbooks, and this one is personal. Written and illustrated by my father, #tonysandoval, it retells his experience crossing the Mexican-American border. With everything happening in the US, books like this feel more relevant than ever.

I saw that people are doing #20daysofbooks on here and thought I’d hop on. With every place I go, I try to pick up a local comic, this one’s from Turkey and I love it! If you can get ahold of it, I recommend it!

Stefan Bucher’s 344 Questions. Bucher is a designer, author and illustrator in Pasadena CA. Right after he published this he came to speak at our design school as part of a student AIGA event. The book is filled with questions and discussion about the creative process. First edition had a flaw in that if you wrote on the pages as you were encouraged to do, the ink came off on the other side of the page. Bucher released a second edition with different paper and ink, and enlarged with more space to write. (Were these changes based on those exact suggestions I sent him? We will never know.) The cover is a medium cyanish turquoise with typography and question bubbles hand drawn by Bucher in his signature style.
My original copy, signed by Bucher on the interior title page.
An example of the inside pages. When I first got this book I found it difficult to answer most of these questions because they came from a place of economic privilege that I didn’t have. When you’re living in student housing at 47 because you were homeless before you started school, you’re working two jobs with a full course load, and you’re struggling to feed yourself, questions about taking a rest feel impossible. Eventually I hope I will finally be financially stable enough to engage with this book more.

I’m detouring a bit for the last day’s submission.
I should have taken photos of some of the interior pages and show how THICK this tome is. I bought it in 2015 at an art Museum in SoCal. It came with a CD that had hundreds of fraktur typefaces for you to own & use. It’s glorious. I keep it at my desk and it’s like having a secret tawdry porn stash disguised and displayed out in the open. I’m sweating just thinking about it. 😍🥵😁 The cover is all black with the name of the book in hot pink fraktur type. Two ribbon bookmarks come out of the spine; one black and one hot pink. The edges of the pages are hot pink as well.

A blue hardcover book with no illustrations except a small martini in the lower center in black. Cover text says: New AMERICAN BARTENDER’S Handbook I love the absolute minimalist simplicity of this cover. Also, I bought it because I was going to have a swanky little bar on my gorgeous pnang table from Thailand but it’s never worked out where I’ve been in a place I could do that.

Around the same era when Galileo and Issac Newton were doing their thing, Pu Songling was doing something unintentionally innovative for writing. He gathered and compiled stories (folk tales, rumors, myths, etc) and wrote them down. Some claim he altered the stories so they taught moral lessons. Others say he only copied down what he was given. In the end he had collected an impressive collection of 431 tales of the strange and supernatural. At one time his work was banned in China, but the stories were so beloved people hid their copies. The version shown is the one I own but I confess I feel the art could be a lot better and the cover design is mostly boring. Liaozhai means "Studio of Conversation" or "Studio of Leisure” btw.
