The entire staff of Katherine Small Gallery invites you to celebrate a new old book by made with help from . Come help us introduce this book to Greater Boston and the greater world as both Kennett and a selection of Dwiggins designs will be present for a book launch party without further formalities. (Also, it’ll be the 142nd birthday + 1 day of Mabel Dwiggins, so there’ll probably be cake.).

It’s Thursday. But let’s talk about Sunday. We’re gonna have a yard sale outside the shop. (And we’ll be open.)
Sunday, October 9 from 10–2
108 Beacon Street
Somerville, MA 02143

It’s Thursday. That means one thing: Out with the old and in with the something else.
John Gall (or, ), the creative director for the publisher Alfred A. Knopf, creates and oversees the design of hundreds of book covers each year. In an effort to forget what he knew about design, in 2008 he began making collages for his own pleasure. Although collage has long been part of his job, the work shown in our new exhibit is not related to any design problem or book. It is simply about seeing what might happen when something is added or taken away—or both.
Come see before January 14, 2023—and stay tuned for the other show we’ll be announcing later today.

This brick of a book is by is brilliant. It features all sorts of fabulous, interesting things, from toys and tots, to cooks and coffee, animals and brutalist buildings, war machines and washing machines. And all of these fabulous and interesting things are featured on matchbox labels from Czechoslovakia, Poland, Russia, Hungary and Germany. But, most importantly, each mid-century label in the book is a graphic joy to behold. Amazing fun.
