Barnes and Noble: Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, illustrated by Ruben Toledo - Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition Series
1 recommendation
"Although I adore my tattered copy of Wuthering Heights (as well as the deeply dark love story within), Toledo's illustrations give the story even deeper, darker goth appeal. A splendid gift for any Bronte fan . . . or as an introduction for a fan-to-be."
The Elements of Typographic Style: Robert Bringhurst
1 recommendation
"One of the best books on typography ever written. Especially useful to the book designer. I likely never would have designed a single book had it not been for this book... which actually made typography seem alive. And that's a neat trick if there ever was one."
Fully Booked

"A wonderful compilation of some of the most beautiful cover design I've come across. Go through the book "front to back" and it showcases award winning cover designs, turn over and upside down to flip "back to front" and you'll see some of the more conceptual work, one-off designer pet projects that are a wonder to see. A great gift for that designer friend of yours."
The Book of Other People ~ Zadie Smith
1 recommendation
"Zadie Smith reached out to her most talented friends and colleagues, commissioning one fictitious portrait from each, the publisher reached-out to master illustrator Charles Burns to create the killer illustrations on the cover"
Clive Barker's Mister B. Gone
2 recommendations
"I'll admit that I haven't read this book yet, but just the tactile sensation and overall appearance of this novel make it a must own. Made as a faux replica of an old, battered antiquarian text, the dust jacket is printing on textured paper with gold foil embossing… and it comes complete with printed on edge-wear to enhance the aesthetic. If that was the end of the design, then I wouldn't be imp..."

Penguin Group: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass - Books by Lewis Carroll
1 recommendation
"Of course these stories are a wild ride all their own, but - with the accompaniment of a flock of fuchsia flamingos - the adventure gets a wee tweak of kitsch and a mighty punch of pink."
Andrew Kolb: Telephone - Lady Gaga Children's Book
2 recommendations
"This is for all of us who, despite our chronological age, have become erstwhile teeny boppers bouncing to the wild-hearted music and lyrics of Lady Gaga. The vintage-style illustrations accompanying the 21st-century banter inject the Gaga vibe into get another medium. Lusting after a hard copy . . . and my own retro rotary phone."

"professional and unique design service. too many cool services to list here. The best part is they will make a very cool custom notebook out of your recycled paper - soft-cover binding and all."
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: The Black Dossier
1 recommendation
"By far one of the most graphicly compelling books — comic or otherwise — available today. The number of insets, varied documents, and sly detail that comprise this book make it a must own for anyone who wants to see what a well-designed book should look like. And, of course, it is a brilliantly crafted piece, both in words and images. Kudos to all involved in this."
