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 containing the words late and/or years:
“It is too late in the century for women who have received the benefits of co-education in schools and colleges, and who bear their full share in the world’s work, not to care who make the laws, who expound and who administer them.”
—J. Ellen Foster (1840–1910)
“A few years before I lived in the woods there was what was called a “winged cat” in one of the farmhouses.... This would have been the right kind of cat for me to keep, if I had kept any; for why should not a poet’s cat be winged as well as his horse?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
