Is That All There Is? by Joost Swarte
Very clever; it deserves more "stars" than I applied; I just didn't really find myself enjoying it.

Lezen werkt zeer verslavend by Joost Swarte
Postcard-booklet with postcards on reading, writers, readers, in combination with the kind of warnings we also find on packs of cigarettes and tobacco.
Very funny :-)

I already had another postcard from this series (not included in this booklet) that I liekd a lot, so when I found this one, I just couldn't leave it in the store...

Is That All There Is? by Joost Swarte
This graphic novels is a bunch of short strips following the main character and a few other minor characters. I, personally, love the style of these old comics artists.
