When designer Todd Oldham unearthed a series of illustrations in a thrift store, they reminded him of the bold graphics from his favorite children’s book, 1961’s The Giant Golden Book of Biology. Inspired to publish a retrospective of its illustrator, Charley Harper, Oldham worked with AMMO Books and the artist himself to design, edit, and introduce Charley Harper—An Illustrated Life, a look at the artist’s six-decade career. Packed with visual ideas, this oversized book showcases creatures great and small, from Ford Times magazine to Betty Crocker’s Dinner for Two.
