Today is your final chance to leave a comment and go into the draw to win the Perimeter Books incredible prize pack- see all the details here! Dan and Justine have been so generous with their choices, the prize pack a delightful selection of books that everyone will love! -Jenny x
From impossibly cute illustrative and graphic titles from London’s amazing (and amazingly prolific) Nobrow Press to stunning, locally published fine-art monographs of Melbourne’s Benjamin Armstrong and Nicholas Mangan, today we’ve selected a bunch of art and illustration titles for your perusing pleasure.
Ben Newman – Ourobros
Lovely stuff from Ben Newman, one of the central artists contributing to Nobrow’s burgeoning success.
Benjamin Armstrong – Holding a Thread
In recent years, Benjamin Armstrong has established himself as one of contemporary Australian art's finest. Comprising his alien glass sculptures, stunning painting practice and working methodology, this wonderfully produced volume is an equally beautiful and important document of a young artist at the height of his powers. Holding a Thread comes courtesy of small Sydney publishing house Emblem.
Nicholas Mangan – Notes From a Cretaceous World
Jack Teagle – Jeff Job Hunter
Carol Lee Mei-kuen – Threads of Luminosity
Ben Newman and Scott Donaldson – The Bento Bestiary
More Nobrow magic! Good, even if a little scary, for the kids.
A stunning little book from Jon McNaught and Nobrow. This is everything a illustrated book should be.

Love the books! Very unique, bright, bold drawings. Niche books are my favourite!
I must say my heart did skip a beat when I saw those illustrations by Ben Newman, combined with that papery goodness. thanks for sharing -xx-
Oh wow must take a closer look at The Bento Bestiary!! Lots of fun characters. I especially love the covers of this selection of books.
What beautiful sweet books! Beautiful finishes and illustartions…to die for :)
Wow – so many talented people out there (and illustrators in particular!). It’s both inspiring and exhausting!
Stunning…ness on the printed page.

I absolutely adore these books… Illustrators are publishing amazing stuff. Wpuld love to have them all in my library. Will have to visit your shop soon
Gorgeous stuff!
Great selection! colours, papers, inks, smell…to describe these books in one word: ‘lickable’.
Wow. Great collection. Just back from San Fran and Vancouver. Some really good independent bookshops there but we are really blessed in Melbourne with equally great bookshops.
They’re all so beautiful, I want to read Jeff Job Hunter and Pebble Island most though
The illustrations and colours in these books are stunning. Would love a win!! :)
