Staffan Wiren book cover illustration

Vårt svenska samhälle - by Sixten Björkholm c1963
Cool book cover illustration by Staffan Wiren. Great example of swedish modern illustration from the 1960s.
On a sidenote, just talked to my friend Joe Beats and he’s got a killer mix online that he put together for designer vinyl toy store Munky King. Listen to the mix here.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Hey, what a great looking book!
I think I got it for like 5SEK at the Red Cross. I have a certain weakness for educational/school books

Update!
Found another copy of the book yesterday, but unfortunately in bad shape with a lot of side notes (mostly in pencil though). On the plus-side, it did have a small folder of the explanation of the Human Rights issued by the U.N. in 1958 (no fun grahics in it though..) stuck in it.
