A radical experiment in book design from Jennifer Butler in collaboration with Amsterdam-based world designer Irma Boom, sometimes referred to as "The Queen of Books", this is the autobiography of a family overcoming alcoholism. Drawing upon over 1000 postcards spanning ten years, it relays, meticulously and intimately, the story and emotional life of the Butler family. The volume also includes portraits by the distinguished Dutch photographer Erwin Olaf.
