Cats in Origami

2018 – 3 languages

This is another project with NuiNui Publishing, with whom I have written several books. I’m always impressed with their willingness to accomodate the author’s design elements and to give care and attention to the layout as well as the contents. Most books require me to fil a specific number of pages, but NuiNui work the other way round, they use as many pages as the book requires, so there is no need to compress images or diagrams to fit on a page. The paper enclosed in the box is bright, thin and crisp.

Cats have been part of my life since I was a child and they have been wonderful company for me and my family, so this was a heart-felt project.

The book has been published in English by Dover and is a companion volume to the book of “Dogs”

Available in English, French or Italian.
