Twitter followers of Marian Bantjes will know she's practically on tour at the moment promoting her amazing new book, "I Wonder". Described, on the back, as a "compelling collection of observations on visual culture and design", the book is a (literally) dazzling piece of work and a tribute to Bantjes' inspirations. Before reading a word it's clear that she's inspired by illuminated manuscripts and Bantjes brings the discipline bang up-to-date with a mix of high production values, precisely drawn patterning and repetitive photographic motifery. Like Sagmeister's books (he wrote the foreword incidentally), it's one of those publications you probably should buy whether you actually like her work or not. Love it or not (and there is loads to love) it's an amazing and startling object.
