“We need something pleasantly distracting to look forward to... The Sm;)e Book explores happiness incarnate through an interpretive homage to the ubiquitous smiley face.” - Steven Heller (Print Magazine)

Celebrate the smiley face’s impact on art, music, pop and alternative culture with The Sm;)e Book. Showcasing an unprecedented collection of some the world’s most potent visual communicators.
