Following his much loved books A Forest (2008) and The Curious Explorer (2010), Melbourne illustrator and Erm Books co-conspirator Marc Martin's debut Erm release, Silent Observer, merges his intricately detailed line work with highly textural surfaces and a flowing painterly sensibility in its story of an unlikely friendship between a man and a bird.

32 pages, 22.5cm x 16cm, hardback, full colour, Erm Books (Melbourne).
