Windows of New York City

Every week, graphic designer Jose Guizar illustrates and posts a window that has caught his eye while walking around the streets of New York City. He calls it an "ode to architecture" and a "self-challenge to never stop looking up".

Nabokov Book Covers

I've seen these wonderful Nabokov books on shop shelves for many years now, but each time I see them, I can't resist the temptation to pick them up and buy them all.

What I learned today was that these covers were inspired by Nabokov's love of collecting butterflies.
(Aha! Of course! Why didn't it occur to me before?)

A Nomadic Library

This circular bookshelf designed by David Garcia is such a beautiful idea! 

"A nomadic library, a transport system and an intimate space. Inspired by ancient travelling libraries from the Far East, which visited courts and cities, (this bookshelf) transforms this into a personal space, where walking and reading coexist as refuge and transport."

Lost

Okay, I'm going to totally geek out for a moment here.
I watch Lost, and am a bit psyched for the premiere of the final season on Tuesday.  Anywho, I came across these really nice Lost posters designed by Ty Mattson and thought I'd share them here.
