Random House and creative director Suzanne Dean picked five Japanese illustrators to design stickers inspired by characters from Colorless Tskuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage, the latest book by celebrated author Haruki Murakami. The book is already out in Japanese, and due in English come August. And translated first editions will include the sticker set, which includes objects ranging from swim goggles to pianos and convertible cars, and the publisher is encouraging readers to make the cover their own by slapping the drawings on its front.
