Ilustration In Favor Of Books The Griffin & Sabine Trilogy (Griffin & Sabine #1-3)
These books formed a very large portion of my childhood. My mom used to read them to me, at a maddeningly slow pace. Each night when I was heading to bed she'd come into my room and we'd painstakingly remove a letter from its envelope. We'd spend nearly as much time looking over the drawings, the postcards, just the gorgeous artwork of each piece. Then the letter would be read. It was a magical experience, and one I ended up repeating on my own when I was old enough. I spend just as much time examining the script, the art. These books are a work of art, as much as the story in and of itself is. It's a book to fire the imagination, to whet the appetite for more.Rating About Books The Griffin & Sabine Trilogy (Griffin & Sabine #1-3)

I don't even know how to describe these books. It's probably the most unique reading experience you'll ever have, with a story so elusive and yet tangible it defies description. Sabine is a woman in the South Pacific who sends a postcard to Griffin asking for some of his artwork, but he has no idea who she is. Then she reveals a shocking connection the two of them have, and through their letters that span the rest of the book and the two sequels that follow, they fall in love, but keep missingThese books are so fun. Ive been meaning to do a re-read for a while.
Got this trilogy used....it's in great shape, which is wonderful because the artwork and creativity is fabulous. I don't think it would be nearly as good without the physical books. There isn't much of a story, but who cares?
I've been meaning to read these for years. I was very glad I had all three books on hand, since the first two each end on such abrupt cliffhangers.I loved the premise of taking an epistolary novel to the next level -- the sense of discovery as you match the postcard images to their text, and take each letter out of its envelope, is quite delightful. The illustrations are, of course, phenomenal. I also loved the premise of the story, the journey the author takes us on, and the poetic allusions
LOL SPEAKING OF COLOR CODED/TACTILE BOOKS, HAVE ANY MEMERS READ THE GRIFFIN AND SABINE BOOKS? I WAS GIVEN SOME AS A GIFT WHEN I WAS TOO YOUNG TO UNDERSTAND MOST OF THEM, HONESTLY, BUT ILED TAKING THOSE LETTERS OUT AND I'M THINKING I SHOULD READ THEM AGAIN. I NEVER FINISHED THE SERIES.I HAD A FRAND WHO WAS RLY INTO THOSE WHEN I WAS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL, BUT I NEVER READ THEM MYSELF.
So glad I finally read the complete series. Such an interesting and beautiful work of art.
This one-of-a-kind trilogy has been waiting for me on my book shelf, moving from one apartment to the next. How could I have waited so long to read this. It's an amazing concept, so beautifully and cleverly done.
