The Books By Its Cover blog is gifted to us by illustrator and pattern designer Julia Rothman. Also of Also (Design, Illustration, Animation, Video).
From Julia: I wanted to share all the nice books I regularly notice and have collected over the years. Please email me if you have any suggestions or books you want to share.
I discovered BBIC via the sharing of 25 Beautiful Minimalistic Website Designs at the Vandelay Website Design Blog (recently added to my newly attached Wizz RSS News Reader). If you go looking, scroll down in Vandelay’s comments and there it’ll be.
On BBIC is a review by A.J. Purdy, Consider Everything in Badshape. Mmmmm. Badshape is splattered and sprayed with wicked-delicious work by Mark Price.
Have time? Have interest? Then be sure to read Mark’s three month process while silkscreening 200 copies of Badshape, Consider Everything in Bad Shape.
At the BBIC there isn’t an archives to easily pick and choose through, but the categories will take you as deep as you want to go. Checking out Design (as one would) I see we have: the newly-minted classic (can I say that?) by Stefan Sagmeister, (Things I have Learned In my Life so Far); Steven Heller and Gail Anderson’s New Vintage Type; and the must have (somehow, someway) The Art of the Letter, by Doyald Young of Smart Papers.
I seriously could go on. But as I can’t (obviously), I’m adding Books By Its Cover to my still slim Wizz RSS News Reader.
Will I ever learn? Not likely. And if I released the contents of my netvibes and Bloglines (with Google Reader in training) your eyes would bleed. Seriously.
