Don't be misled by GUM's light-hearted packaging: since its initial release this amazing new annual has attracted a very loyal fan base. Probably because it's so blatantly obsessive about art, design, pop culture, music, social issues and more. In a market flooded with gorgeous art books short on substantive content at one end and content-driven publications lacking a sense of humor and aesthetic savvy at the other, GUM is like a breath of fresh air. It successfully pulls together the seldom combined qualities of beauty, humor and content and presents the best graphics pop-culture has to offer: namely a good, sugary kick and something to chew on as well. GUM 2 features Espo on Dalek, an interview with Ray Bradbury (yes, Ray Bradbury!), Nancy Sinatra, Nonconceptual, Chris Yormick, Cornelius, RJD2, Cherrywine, Tim ''Love'' Lee and more.
GUM2 contains: A 184?page book featuring an exclusive interview with literary giant Ray Bradbury, a 44-page activity book, 9 trading cards featuring new artwork, a View-Master reel of photography from Rudy VanderLans, PUMA Gummi candies and a built-in gumball dispenser with 3 gumballs. All boxed and ready for action.
