Melanie | 115 comments This book is non-fiction and has no cover on goodreads, but some of you like non-fiction about art and design, so this may be interesting.

A search for German titles published in English translation (in America) during 2019 results in a list 44 titles long.

I absolutely love this, I discovered it last month and constantly look at all sorts of languages (mainly for Read Around the World) I wish there was something like that for the UK market.
