have you read Murakami's "the strange library", it reminded me of Roald Dahl in the best way. my only criticism was I wish it was published in some kind of format which school kids might actually see it. instead it's a fancy experimental Chip Kidd art book

I haven’t yet. I’ve only flipped through it,

I do wish it was illustrated rather than the zoomed in Chip Kidd clip art style. I liked Kidd’s designs on IQ84 and 

Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage.– but both fit the book and didn’t do that zoomed in thing he does on many books.

I think about that accessibility in relation to a lot of artists whose work I like –like how they only put out Moebius books for billionaire old men and not teenagers who would flip at the influence. 

The Japanese edition of Strange Library has a cooler look to it I think.
