"Super eye candy" is how McCracken described ABC DF, designed by Mexico City-based Christina Faesler Bremer. The book is as entertaining as it is informative, thanks to a repertory of colorful images from what locals call the "Federal District," one of the largest urban centers in the world. A simple cover sets readers up for a surprise. Although it hints at the book's content and organization, the cover's understated color and typography belie the abundance of exuberant imagery within.
