"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.
