Publisher’s Summary:
“Enter a world in between time, where children have played so long it’s almost become work, machines have worked so long they have begun to play, and all the clocks have stopped at the same time. This is how this land has remained, until 314 dapper-looking gentlemen rain down from the sky and set off in different directions to start the world anew. Now Ayden, the only boy to still ask questions; Zoe, the robot girl all other machines hold dear; and the Dapper Man known only as “41″ must discover what happened that made time stop, understand what their true places are in this world, and learn what “tomorrow” really means. The sun is setting for the first time in memory, and once that happens, everything changes!”
THIS 
BOOK IS
REMARKABLY,
UNREASONABLY
BEAUTIFUL.
No book has the right to be this…this…Spectacularly Illustrated.
I brought Return of the Dapper Men home, and this is what I did: I turned the pages, one after the other, starting over again when I reached the end. I didn’t read it; that would come much later. I was enjoying myself too much just taking in all of the little details. I marveled over how fantastically they nailed the illustration of Tim Gunn (who provided the introduction, and who could possibly be better suited for such a dapper task?). I admired how the colors alone established mood, and don’t get me started on the atmosphere. I mean, check out this nine page preview. And then go find a copy so you can sit and enjoy the wonder of it.
Oooooo, the artwork is really amazing…even a little spooky to me
TY
Some of the pages, yes.
And I adore every single one. (And catch something new every time I look at them.)
