Book Reviews of The Principles of Uncertainty
Book Review: A rare (and gorgeously produced) and wise book
Summary: 5 Stars
Maira Kalman's book is a one-off, unlike anything I have come across and studded throughout without her distinctive and beautiful illustrations and a narrative that is both mad and sane in equal measure (just as we all are!).
The production is stunning and everything about this book makes it a joy to behold and lose yourself in.
Highly recommended for anyone who takes real pleasure in a book's physicality but also enjoys offbeat, quirky but genuinely wise women. Maira Kalman is all of these things
