This Book Loves You was created by YouTube sensation PewDiePie, published in 2015 by RAZORBILL.
This Book Loves You is a collection of (in)inspirational quotes of the "wisdom" of PewDiePie in quote-graphic format across each page.
There is no requirement to read this book from front to back, everything exists in itself - although some of the graphics relate strongly to the ones before or after.
I don't really follow PewDiePie on YouTube, but I'm pretty sure "The Duck is Coming" is something prevalent there because it occurs way too much in this book.
I would recommend This Books Loves You as a coffee-table kind of thing. It makes for a good laugh, but anyone who might be suicidal or chronically depressed might not want to read it if they can't see the humor in the context, as some of it can be a real let down.
- I went to read through some pages at work once because we were too slow and ended up on a picture of a duck on the crucifix with a comment of "Duck loves you this much". If you can't handle things like that, you're going to get offended by this book.
From a design standpoint the images were fun in a collage sort of way - but no one considered the gutter when they were printing this. The gutter is the area that gets eaten up at the spine of the book. The book would have been more successful with the gutter they made if they had a spiral spine or went more for a perfect bound book in 1-set pages. The Spine tends to eat up to 1/4" of the pages, especially as you get towards the center. Pages designed to be spread across the full layout tend to get their words eaten into the gutter - some pictures look a little weird getting cut and smooshed together because of the gutter.
We're still waiting for the lasagna version, which I won't mind if the gutter is a little off but it should be delicious.
