Description

“Fay’s Friends” is an address book showcasing the talents of William Wegman. The book needed to be functional and still retain a bit of whimsy to reflect Wegman’s work. A charming solution was found in the cover with artificial Weimeraner fur and a spine wrap replicating the god’s nose. One thing we regret is that we were unable to find a binding material that would stay cold and damp.
