i am in a very cheerful (despite being sweaty) mood today. as i was taking a nap my order from Book Depository has finally come. a book of 30 postcards of artworks by Yoshitomo Nara. i ordered this as a birthday present for myself, last 28th of March. it took about 20 days for it to come here. honestly i didn't expect it to arrive at least until May, though the site promised 10 days max for delivery.
there is nothing to say as far as the art goes, of course. Nara-san is an angel, and if anything, 30 postcards is definitely not enough. there should be like a giant, bigger book of maybe 100 postcards, etc.
the quality of each piece is excellent. the pages are thick, just the right amount of glossiness, and at the back has some minute details of the illustration/photograph (title, date, and materials used.)
i guess stuff published by Chronicle Books are all good. . ? i have David Shrigley's Red Book and ...but i wanted a pony! by Ann Taintor and they're fantastic as well. quality and design-wise. i guess from now on i will keep my eyes peeled for books they have released.
i got this postcard book for 8.25$. now that i checked, it's only for 7.38$ (!!!) so i suggest YOU to order now if you're interested. it's a very pure and entertaining little treasure that would make a perfect present (for yourself, as in my case.)
here's a video i took:

PS do you know that the documentary Travelling with Yoshitomo Nara is out for everyone to see in YouTube? give it a watch. it's good.
