Hopefully you all have oodles of fun plans for the upcoming holiday! For those of you counting down the minutes until your long weekend commences, I thought I'd share an addicting site I recently discovered to help you while away the next few hours. You may remember last year's post about judging books by their covers, or maybe this one about super-cute Penguin classic covers.
Well, Julia Rothman's blog, Book By Its Cover, completely runs circles around those posts. It provides daily reviews of art-related publications, but you can also search through several subcategories, including design, handmade, sketchbooks, etc. One of my favorite features of the site is its simple layout: image-title-category; if that combination of teasers catches your eye, you can click to read on, learning more about the book and seeing a nice compilation of images. Since the books featured are artsy, I think a lot of the titles would make spectacular gifts for some of my designerly friends. Some entries that caught my eye include: Mike Perry's Pulled: a Collection of Screen Printing; Nadine Nakanishi's Formal Addictive Programs; Charlotte Rivers' Reinventing Letterpress; and Harriet Russell's Sixty Impossible Things Before Lunch, just to name a few. Enjoy!
