Widely hailed as one of the worlds leading designers, Irma Boom has been making books of conceptual rigor, technical virtuosity, and material inventiveness since founding her practice in Amsterdam in 1991. Boom is the youngest laureate to receive the Gutenberg Prize for her body of work. Among her many design awards and honors is the Leipzig Book Fairs prestigious designation of Weaving as Metaphor, a book about artist Sheila Hicks, as the most beautiful book in the world. Whether by expanding her role as a designer by also acting as editor or archivist, or through experiments with paper, binding, color, typography, and image, Booms approach consistently produces books with unique visual and tactile experiences. Her varied clientele includes museums and galleries, such as the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, the Boijmans Van Beuningen, and de Appel, as well as manufacturers and retailers like Vitra and Camper, organizations such as the United Nations and the Netherlands Architecture Institute, and design collaborations with Petra Blaisse of Inside Outside.

Can anyone tell my how she did the trick with the "best books" (about 24:00) I mean how can that even work...I simply don't get how you can flip it in one way and only see the books but flip in in the other way and see the text?
thx for any help.

the love and dedication to books shall never die, she inspires books and is inspired by them.
They turn out to be masterpieces in our hands and mind.
The book publishing has reached a new level and will definetely get an outcome to the Internet problematic or questionning.Her book (biography in books) i'm looking forward having it in my hands, i may receive it next week, it's a book you keep all your life and tend to give as a heritage, you go through all the time , you share and love.
