Around the corner from my B&B at Potrero Hill is a charming, small book store. The owner is a fan of Maira Kalman. Of course I didn't know, but when I bought The Principles of Uncertainty the shop keeper went wild and showed me all the books she had of her. Admitted, while reading in bed I was directly fascinated too. About the story, the atmosphere and the whimsical paintings. The ultimate picture book for grown-ups. I'm going back tomorrow to buy some of the other ones.
If your not able to do that, look at Kalman's NY Times columns here, it's really worthwhile. http://kalman.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/06/25/time-wastes-too-fast/
