Resumé - Birck Lisbeth Tolstrup:
Storslået Strik
A book about knitting – with a rare focus on the big sizes.
Published 2007 by FiberFeber

The job was a complete design and production – cover, inside pages design etc., in close cooperation with Lisbeth, who as both the author and the editor of the book had very precise ideas about the flow of the book's contents, and who had worked with the photographer Karl Ravn to create the most harmonic set of illustrations for a book I have experienced, since a similar job with "Resume 1966-1999" (see below).
