The Principles of Uncertainty by Maira Kalman is a compilation of this wonderful illustrator’s series of columns for the
New York Times. For one year, Kalman did a colourful column every month, bringing her brand of musing and observation to an appreciative public. This is the type of book one could keep as a diary that one did not have to write; one could spend ample time just getting right into the images and staying a while. This is the type of book that is bought in multiples, as gifts for others and for oneself. It is like a box of candy that lasts forever. There is quick taste after the jump.
