Same Same (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780887768859)

Forget about differences Here's a wonderful new concept book to explore and enjoy

Marthe Jocelyn and Tom Slaughter team up again to deliver a delightfully simple book. Jocelyn's marvelous concept -- finding common characteristics in different creatures and objects -- coupled with Slaughter's masterful paper cuts makes Same Same a clever introduction to similarities, as well as a preface to modern art.

The duo's previous titles have received numerous awards worldwide; from Japan to Denmark, from France to Mexico. Fashioned in the traditional and stunning style of the pair's past books, Same Same is a wonderful addition to their already impressive library.
