50 Watts Illustrated Book Club volume 1

50 Watts Illustrated Book Club volume 1: featuring Puppet, Plum Pit, Plum, Log and Back to Puppet by Vojtěch Mašek, illustrated by Chrudoš Valoušek + a new special set of ten 50 Watts postcards (see the last image) featuring vintage illustrations from around the world / 94-page hardcover, 10.25 x 13.75 inches, just published by Centrala (UK) When I first saw a tiny jpg of this book a few months ago I knew I had to stock it. Once I got my hands on it, the book exceeded my expectations -- the physical size, the vibrant colors (by Juraj Horvath), the crazy invention -- so I decided to make it the first volume of an illustrated book club. The original Czech edition won the best fiction award at the Bologna Children's Book Fair in 2019. I think most people who see the book know it is special. The publisher says the book is suitable for ages 6 to 12. I view it as a wild illustrated book for all ages. *** Pinocchio, Carlo Collodi’s peppy impish wooden puppet, must encounter many adventures be
