“Where the wind carries me…” The Life and Art of Judith Ryan

This is an elegantly produced biography and art book, with an underlying love story. In large coffee table format, 11 ” x 11″, with 404 pages, the biography part of the volume is richly illustrated with colour and early black and white photos. The text is poignantly enlivened with many of Judith’s letters and poems. The art section contains more than 250 colour plates of her outstanding art work. The layout and design of the book are of award-winning quality, making it highly suitable for presentation as a gift. The book will be exhibited at the Frankfurt Book Fair in the fall of 1999 and it has been accepted by Germany’s Stiftung Buchkunst for entry in the prestigious world-wide book design competition at Leipzig (March 1999). Canada’s foremost printing firm, Friesens Corporation, printed the book and consider it one of the finest books they have produced. They will enter it in the Printing Industries of America competition for the Benjamin Franklin Award for book design and book jacket design. It is also being submitted for various awards for its writing. After its launch it was a bestseller in hardcover.
