I've heard the book is good. Support independent booksellers.

We just need you to know that a number of people besides booksellers here have bought Schattenfroh. That number is 1, but it's still a number of people. portersquarebooks.com/book/9781646...

“Everywhere across this surface, stories are being told. It teems with stories, like a wimmelbild [teeming picture]. […] Schattenfroh is a wimmelbuch, a book teeming with images.”

This tradition is alive, both in painting and writing.
