Approaching the Tyrannosaur Paddock
Nick. 24. Los Angeles.

Let's talk about storytelling and adventures and films and television and books and photography and cinematography and music and traveling and how breakfast is the best meal of the day.

I will fight you on that last one.

Saul Bass’s only children’s book has come back into print.
Saul Bass (1920-1996) is  considered by many — myself included — the greatest graphic designer of all time, responsible for some of the most timeless logos and most memorable film title sequences of the twentieth century. In 1962, Bass collaborated with former librarian Leonore Klein on his only children’s book, which spent decades as a prized out-of-print collector’s item. This month, exactly half a century later, Rizzoli is reprinting Henri’s Walk to Paris — an absolute gem like only Bass can deliver, at once boldly minimalist and incredibly rich, telling the sweet, aspirational, colorful story of a boy who lives in rural France and dreams of going to Paris.
