IDIOM #2

Rock stars are all around us—not just in the entertainment industry, but in our national parks, our skies, in outer space, and yes, our gardens. With original writing and artwork inspired by real life celebrity rocks, plus a lot of Wikipedia research, let this A-Z volume be your guide to the famous, infamous, and not-so-famous geology that inhabit our world.
Printed BW to 4 kinds of paper stock, IDIOM #2 combines a wealth of images, text, and original artwork in a spiral bound format. This pocket rock encyclopedia has a risograph gatefold cover, and each page features its own rock-related idiom for your geologic delight.
IDIOM #2: A Guide to Rock Stars is the second in a series exploring written and visual metaphors in shared language. Each issue comes in a different, yet familiar, format. Drop your details here, and we’ll keep you informed about future issues.
