Wink's remarkable book picks of the week

Screen Shot 2014-05-23 at 6.46.25 PMWink is a website that reviews one remarkable paper book every weekday. My wife, Carla Sinclair, is the editor. We take lots of photos of the covers and the interior pages of the books to show you why we love them.

This week we reviewed:

Codex Seraphinianus — the weirdest book you've ever seen

The Oldest Living Things in the World — a captivating look at ancient organisms along with a personal memoir of science and adventure

Strange Maps — q collection of fun and peculiar maps that you won't find in an ordinary atlas

Art Forms from the Ocean — exquisite drawings of single-celled plankton
