Late Years
Boom has made over 250 books, 50 of which are in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Boom, at age 49, has designed most of her books for other people the way she has wanted, and is often given absolute freedom in her designs. Boom designed a book titled "Beautiful Ugly" by Sarah Nuttall. Nuttall stated: "the book was designed in Amsterdam by Irma Boom, and I thank her for her extraordinary eye and prodigious talent for making books beautiful." The cover to this book was an olive-green color with no pictures or text.

Famous quotes related to late years:
“Lancaster bore him such a little town,
Such a great man. It doesn’t see him often
Of late years, though he keeps the old homestead
And sends the children down there with their mother
To run wild in the summer a little wild.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
