Five years ago, McSweeney's published Marcel Dzama's The Berlin Years, bringing Dzama's elegant, enigmatic bears, bats, and sexy ladies to a slumbering nation. The first edition of that book was snapped up in a matter of minutes, and same with a second edition a couple years later. "We were thinking about a third printing, but then we thought: instead, why not do it all new and all better?" So that's what they've done.
The format is similar to the original: an envelope with twenty-eight high quality loose-leaf prints suitable for framing, including a four that fit can together in any configuration to make one really large one; plus a scrapbook; and a oversized fold-out poster.
The artwork is entirely new, the scrapbook is new, the envelope has been redesigned — it's a whole new thing, in a beloved familiar shape.
