Kniha Paula Coxe Stavebnice (2018) je záznamem přípravy souborné výstavy autorova díla v pařížském Centre Georges Pompidou z roku 2005. Vychází z autorova blogu, který si při této příležitosti založil. Paul Cox byl původně architektem, v současné době se věnuje ilustraci a grafickému designu. Postupné zapisování průběhu vzniku výstavy odhaluje specifické strategie, které Cox ve svém ilustrátorském a výtvarném díle využívá. Subtilní propojování témat a rozsáhlá platnost zjišťovaných spojitostí může být přínosem pro každého tvůrce. Není příliš titulů, které se věnují teorii ilustrace, a jen velmi málo takových, které by byly inspirativní a dokázaly hovořit o různých přístupech k práci. Pro studenty výtvarných oborů i širší veřejnost je vydání tohoto titulu výjimečnou příležitostí, jak se seznámit s knihou, která se skutečně věnuje ilustraci a není „jen“ něčím katalogem.

Since Chaucer's day, the After Dinner Speech, designed to reduce the assembled company to helpless merriment, has presented the ultimate challenge. The best speakers are natural story-tellers - Gerard Hoffnung reading a selection of letters from continental hoteliers, John Mortimer telling the woeful tale of a man's numerous unsuccessful attempts to murder his wife, and in this collection of post-prandial treasures, you will find the very best of them, from Groucho Marx on how to resist a femme fatale to Ralph Steadman addressing the Lewis Carroll Centenary Dinner. Shaggy dog stories, practical jokes, sporting anecdotes, rousing toasts, travellers' tales, and risqué reminiscences rub shoulders in this essential collection with real-life revelations and moments of history. Among the guests are Peter Ustinov, Jilly Cooper, Brian Johnstone, Charles Dickens, Dorothy Parker, Robertson Davies, Henry Grady, and A.P. Herbert. There is food and drink in abundance, gentle reflection and endearing charm as well as defiant frivolity. Above all, there are stories for every occasion - witty, absurd, momentous, philosophical, fascinating, poignant, and forever entertaining.
