Some books have already been made. Other books are yet to be. This particular book, from the hand and minds of David Byrne, and the other hand and minds of Alex Kalman, comes out today. The only way you can enjoy it is if you have it. To get it, walk into a bookstore. Enjoy.

@Caterina It’s a topsy turvy world. Is the fish a cut woods? Does the pope sit on the bear bait? Catholic or get off the poop!
