Another excellent addition to NoBrow's accordion/concertina publication series. This visual history of the space race is beautifully illustrated by Tom Cole. While there's no conceptual or arty trickery to this book, it does use the panoramic features of the accordion to great advantage in telling this story. Individual pages 9.25" x5.5" and fully extended 4' 5". Here's the link to other Nobrow accordions: NoBrow Products

Dogan Surek, Perfect World, 1996.

Each page 5.75" x 4" fully open 4' long.
