Most beautiful object
Someone over the last five years has turned Phaidon books from being great to have to great to love. The latest edition of Cream, their annual new artist line up is the most beautiful object. This is the way art books should be, good enough to eat.

Each book a Sunday full of horizons
In the world of visual arts Phaidon create books that excede your expectations of a book. We can't all collect art - books are another story. A Phaidon is immediately different and immediately Phaidon. Every one is a Sunday full of horizons. Endless insights on paper. Lives brought to life. Type and image having a party. The next best thing to being it! Minding the book & never having to mind the quality & finding there is a continuum & swimming in it. Photography, fashion, design, architecture. Phaidon books let you turn off the clock when the sound is too loud, take some new bearings when you're below your zenith, and re-stock a sense of worth in human endeavour.
