Summer books review for Wall Street Journal, illustrated by James Weston Lewis. James had a lot of fun illustrating the varied subject matter in the review all brought together through the concept of a vintage travel poster exhibition. Each poster had a link to one of the books reviewed, a literary reference, summer event or famous library.
