Subtitled Books in reverse chronological order, 2013-1986, with comments here and there, this miniature anthology serves as a catalogue raisonné for the Dutch graphic designer. Boom has been described as ‘The Queen of Books’, often challenging conventional formats in the over 300 titles she has designed.
The architecture of the book was first published on the occasion of a retrospective of her work at the University of Amsterdam Library.
