Edited and designed by American graphic designer and writer Sean Tejaratchi, Crap Hound is the seminal mixture of social commentary and somewhat overindulgent graphic design.

Sean attempts to answer two key questions with the largest single issue of Crap Hound ever: What are books? And, really, why Bees?

Between a brief introduction and the end credits, Crap Hound is pure imagery. Each page is filled with high-contrast art, carefully taken from vintage catalogs, advertising, obscure books, and found ephemera.

An enduring resource for designers, students, and educators, Crap Hound rewards slow browsing as much as focused research. Its dense visual archive offers a rich source of reference for image-making, collage, zines (editorial design), and the study of vernacular print culture.
