I got this book about an hour ago, it is really fantastic, better than I had hoped it would be.
It shows a diverse range of Olle's work from sketches and wonderful drawings to packaging, book jackets and posters, its a must for illustrators and graphic designers a true classic.
So glad I have a copy.
There is very little text in the book and what there is in Japanese, it is just a perfect visual delight.
By the way its being republished in November 2007.

Olle Eksell is a designer that seems to be under the radar here in america. This book is a healthy collection of much of his works. There is hand-lettering, package design, children s illustrations, paintings, drawings etc.
I love Olle's spare use of color, and his pen line is deceptively simple. Brilliant designer and this book is really fantastic. The writing is in Japanese but it should not deter you from purchasing this book.

A "to-die-for" book filled with absolutely gorgeous, inspiring images. Highly recommended for everyone interested in whimsical, fantastical illustration and design. One of the very best illustration/design books on my rather crowded shelves.

I bought this book for inspiration in design and animation. I love this particular style of vintage Swedish illustration work.
