'These postcards should keep Royal Mail busy in the coming months and find a home on every graphic studio's noticeboard'
Product Description
The collection of 100 Maverick Postcards presents 100 variations on the theme of visual and verbal pleasure. Many of these are based on Alan Fletcher's own quirky and inimitable drawings and watercolours, while the rest are all highly entertaining examples of wit, wisdom and games with words and images. This collection will have an immensely wide appeal. As Alan Fletcher says himself, these cards are for 'aunties, starlets, dreamers, cousins, aesthetes, pilots, scoundrels, vixens, clerks, vegans, attorneys, granddads, fakirs, stewards, brokers, conjurors, gremlins, bishops, hypocrites, tutors, batsmen, tycoons, doctors, hookers, swots, libras, girls, members, snorkellers, golfers, judges, matadors, poseurs, flaneurs pimps, printers, cyclists, parents, mobsters, players, neighbours, mandarins, jokers, managers, guards, chaps, journalists, matrons, blue stockings, atheists, beaus, ornithologists, clerics, romeos, strikers...' and any more you can think of.

There cards are sadly made from "shiny" carton and you can't write with an ink pen on them. But the biggest problem is they do not fit the standard size of a letter/postcard and therefore are very expensive to actually send them.
But the artistic side of the cards is well done.

creative, intriguing postcards
6 Jun 2005
Format:Cards
This collection is an incredible set of postcards. Each card is different, but all of them are visually interesting and range from funny to thoughtful to just plain cool. (My personal favorite: one that is almost completely blank, with a tiny, tiny "PSSST!" printed in the middle.) The cards themselves are oversize and made of high quality paper stock, and there is very little pre-printed on the back, just the title of the work and a small Phaidon Press logo, so there's plenty of room to write.
Finally, the price cannot be beat, considering that you can pay the same amount for 20 standard-sized postcards you have to tear out of a perforated book. Here you get 100, and they come in a sturdy plywood storage box. It really is a lovely collection, and I was having so much trouble parting with any of them that I bought another set to keep for myself!

Great cards! Lousy box! Who cares about the box!
19 Sep 2006
Format:Cards
These cards are GREAT. I had wondered why they were so expensive, but I hadn't realized that they're HUGE: the size of large greeting cards, not the standard postcard size. They're glossy and beautiful and arty, and they come with a sheet that shows thumbnails of all the cards so you don't have to go through every single one when you're trying to think of what you want to send.
The box they came in broke apart as I was taking off the plastic wrapper. It's very cheap, lightweight, rough wood. After one end broke off, the rest of it started falling apart as I was carrying it gently to another room.
But I didn't care about the box, or need it, so I'm still giving five stars: it was the postcards I wanted, and they're great.

An eclectic mix...from art to text
11 July 2006
Format:Cards|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm a postcard collector/swapper who regularly sends and receives cards from all corners of the world. This collection of 100 Maverick Postcards is truly a great bargain! It has a great mix of what I consider art cards and cards with text only. I confess that I don't really "get" all of them, but they're still fun to read and send :) Highly recommended!
