They've taken the pictures of biological and mechanical specimens from vintage dictionaries, and displayed them alphabetically. It doesn't mean much, and sounds kind of odd, but let me assure you, it's fly as hell.

Colored Leather Bound Dictionary by Graphic Image

5 people recommended this item

Description

a dictionary truly is something that can and will last a lifetime. So, you might as well get you nice one. Yeah, this might be a little overly nice. However, it'd be perfect as a gift.

Barnes & Noble Nook eBook

7 people recommended this item

Description

My mom has been promoting the Kindle for awhile now, trying to get me interested. I just couldn't get into it. But then I read an article on Barnes and Noble's new eBook Reader, the Nook, and am suddenly more interested than I once was. I've been reading more on it online, and it seems almost too good to be true! You can access tons of eBooks, some of which are even free. You can scroll through your eBook covers. You can take tons of books with you from your "library," no matter where you go. The only downsides I read are that it doesn't have QUITE the battery life that the Kindle does, and it doesn't have text-to-speech options (like the Kindle). However, I think the fact that the memory is expandable (unlike the Kindle) more than makes up for that!

Bookshelf Wallpaper

Description

I've always wanted am entire wall filled with books -- old, old books. However, this is probably the closest I'll ever get to it (and I'm okay with that).

The U.S. Constitution

First to recommend

Description

It's a fairly common theme with awesome Americans, they carry a pocket constitution with them, and here I am, I don't even own a copy.

Lord of the Flies - Sam Weber Illustrated Edition

First to recommend

Description

I'm not alone in remembering this as one of the first books I ever really loved. It's standard reading and rereading worthy. And quite frankly, it's insulting if you don't own a copy. However, Sam Weber has given the classic novel an illustrated makeover. The result is a perfect gift for that hip intellectual friend of yours!

Field Notes Journals

2 people recommended this item

Description

Inside is graph paper, 48 pages of it to be exact. They're inspired by the vanishing subgenre of agricultural mem books. They're a great simple look

Pocket Shark pen

First to recommend

Description

They say that the pen is mightier than the word. Seeing that this pen is made of steel, the old sane might just have a point.

As for me, I like the idea having a sturdy, heavy pen.

This American Life - Season One

First to recommend

Description

I just started this and it's already one of the most endearing shows I've seen. It's sort of a hybrid from a documentary, news magazine and pseudo reality show. From Chicago Public Radio host, Ira Glass explores simple (often ridiculous) American stories.

The Royal Tenenbaums Criterion Collection

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

The ensemble cast in Wes Anderson's third film is beyond spectacular. It's truly amazing how such a wide range of actors can come together and be equally quirky and believable. Everyone should see this at least once. As it is part of The Criterion Collection, it's got lots of extras.
