About the design of the Canto Collection
The cover has always been a headache to me and my designer. How to present it properly and precisely is the question I keep asking. Maybe you will it interesting where the dolls keep fighting with pens in the Slang series, fighting with mouth and battle with pens (口誅筆伐) is the source of inspiration.
And then we come to the Dicktionary series, where the swear words are sort of taboo. So you will see the dolls have their mouths covered. Disaster comes from the mouth (禍從口出) and so we have to cover it unless you open the bookcover.
Now we come to another new series, the so-called Canto Superstition series, and actually I treat it as a serious studies which guide our future. The dolls have their eyes covered this time, they know nothing about their future unless you unblind them.

How to make a crazier dream?
Yes somehow I admit it is crazy to run a bookstore simply by writing a few books. And what if we develop this mindset further?
I am always interested in building up various possible cooperation. Now we have CSL fonetic text message, photo exhibition... maybe we shall not confine ourselves in the mental boundary, let everything be possible.

Canto notebook collection 2
Coming up! Mandarin Dicktionary
After Canto Dicktionary, The Oxfuck Dicktionary of Languages Worldwide, we return to basic - our Mandarin collection. Go! Mandarin! Go! Well I find it somehow weird in using those Mandarin bad word even if I am 100% Chinese being raised in local culture. I can hardly adopt the usage of those terms in daily conversation, not because of the degree of vulgarity but the ambivalence between swearword and joke. You may find it weird to use too, but I am sure it is interesting to learn.

The Oxfuck Dictionary of Languages Worldwide
You cannot find any book crazier than this before. Globalization makes everyone closer and you shall take this chance to connect the world with different bad words. I dare say it is the best tools to break the ice in different cross-cultural encounters.

Canto Propaganda
Canto Collection is one of the unaccomplished projects in my mind. "How to learn Chinese culture in a playful way" has always been a question to me and my comrades.
We are now in a flat world with different ideologies, while the East and West has remained the two biggest conflicting camps.
I never mean to change the world, but try my best to deepen mutal understanding. I think this is the only thing we can do with our limited ability. We are rebellious, but it doesnt mean we are going against anything, rather to embrace conflicting ideas, which is more challenging.
The Canto Collection has always been a creative and enriching project. Carefree and neuron-stimulating, the meetings are very rewarding and fun.
Watch out for our next production.
