In honor of Frank’s 20th anniversary Fantagraphics is re-releasing the massive, long out of print Frank Book omnibus, which collected all the Frank material up to the mid-aughts, including several jaw-droppingly beautiful full-color stories, literally dozens of lushly-delineated black-and-white stories, and a treasure trove of covers and illustrations. The Frank Book also features an introduction by one of Frank’s biggest fans (himself a Frank, or almost): Francis Ford Coppola.
This book explores aspects of the artist's work in the Santa Fe and Taos colonies, his friendship with dance choreographer Martha Graham, and his important collection of Hispano religious folk art.

Surimono are Japanese woodblock prints issued in very limited editions for special occasions. Many served as elegant New Year greeting, and these prints combine embossing, gauffrage, hand-rubbed metallic pigments and materials such as lacquer and mother-of-pearl. Most surimono were commissioned by poetry clubs and are inscribed in calligraphy with whimsical or humorous poems composed by the club members. The Frank Lloyd Wright collection of surimono was recently discovered in the vaults of Taliesen West, and this book, in conjunction with a touring exhibition of Wright's surimono, presents the prints. It contains a catalogue of the prints in the collection, an essay on poetry found on the surimono and an index of poets.
