Via the Book Oven Blog, an nifty little French video by Editis:
I mostly agree with what I’m seeing here, and it gets me excited. Except for two things:
1) When they get to the museum and scan the art book into their reader. I call bullshit. Art books are objects you own. They go on your [...]
I usually go on and on about ebooks, and I do most of my reading on my iPhone these days, but I also love me some finely-crafted codices.
I learned of this British deluxe edition of Cory Doctorow’s Little Brother by accident, almost—Voyager Books advertises on Tor.com, and I was mangling some newsletter copy related to [...]
Salon.com’s got a nice post-game on the Publishocalypse that went down earlier this month in Jason Boog’s “Read it and weep.”
Who will survive publishing’s Ice Age? Undoubtedly, the companies that can command developments in the impending digital book revolution.

Over on Tor.com: Soon I Will Be Invincible

Imagine my delight to see BibliOdissey showcase some of his works from the Homar collection at the Princeton University Library. Shiny! Go check them out, and enjoy!
Over the last few weeks I’ve been seeing the new poster campaign for the Public Theater’s summer productions of Hamlet and Hair, mostly in the subway. Irene Gallo posted an image of the subway ad on The Art Department, and Brand New featured the re-branding (or ‘reinvigorating of the current brand’) of the Public on [...]
Abi Sutherland, Making Light contributor and bookbinder extraordinaire, asked me for some of the off-register misprints from the first Little Brother edition, in order to put them to some good use. Well, she’s designed and made a kickass binding out of them, and showed me the pictures today. I then proceeded to run around the [...]
I took a break from GTA IV (freakin’ awesome!!) to have a life, at least for Saturday. Liz, Mila, Mila’s friend Christie, Theresa, her boyfriend Jeff and I went to the Sakura (cherry blossom) Festival at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens. We spent a few hours walking around, looking at the pretty flowers and negotiating a [...]
