On My Bookshelf: Henri's Walk to Paris
Many years ago my grandfather gave me this book, which I loved as a child but have a new found appreciation for now that I am a designer. The color palette and simple shapes are so fantastic, as well as the fact that the book was designed by the legendary Saul Bass.
