Easily one of the most beautifully designed graphic reference books we have ever seen. This publication is an expansive collection of labels from kretek, a type of Indonesian clove cigarette that is primarily produced in Java.
The labels are divided into several categories, each providing an in-depth look at the rich history and culture surrounding kretek. This book goes beyond just presenting the labels, as it also includes detailed context and explanations about each category. In addition to the book, each copy includes a booklet, lenticular graphics postcards, and kretek papers all neatly packaged in a pouch. This ensemble serves not just as an informative read, but also as a collector's item for those interested in kretek and Indonesian culture.
