Noel Kingsbury’s love letter to the daffodil is simultaneously my love letter to Whitney. The entire book is set in Whitney — body text, larger intro text, captions, and most of the heds. The exception is Feijoa, used in its beautiful display weight for chapter titles and A-heds (and the cover).

The book is casebound with a dust jacket. Published by Timber Press in 2013.

I created a graphic (with ink and a toothbrush) to give a yellow glow from the gutter, to keep the flower power going on some of the spreads that lacked photos.
