The Learners by Chip Kidd

The Learners is a novel written by graphic designer Chip Kidd. The book is the sequel of t=his previous book The Cheese Monkeys. The Learners is a story of a young graphic designer fresh out of college in his first job at an advertising firm in Connecticut.
The book was designed by, of course, Chip Kidd. The book breaks the boundaries of legible text. The from of the book has several illustrations and wacky type games to be able to read the text. The story layout had large margins, that makes the text look like it was in a bible. This gave me the impression that the book might be like the graphic designers bible.
