#45 — Somebody
It’s niche that.
- Diary of a somebody – after biographer Alexander Masters was given a pile of diaries found in a skip, he began piecing together a life.
- Hygge – the Danish art of living cosily – on its way to UK bookshops. Be afraid.
- Brief interviews with very small publishers. Featuring the rather niche Donkey Talk, Grief Digest Magazine and Girls and Corpses.
- Creative Review talk to designer Tom Etherington about the revived Penguin Modern Poets series.
- Why indie presses are opening bookstores.
- CNN interview Penguin Classics publisher Elda Rotor. Features some smashing book-filled photos of the Penguin Random House New York office.
- Abandoned 123,000 sq ft Walmart converted into America’s largest single-floor library.
- The wonderful Things Magazine have reviewed their big list of design, art and photography links – interesting to see what websites have simply fallen off the internet.
- A tour of Tokyo bookshops.
- I can't stop looking at the work of graphic designer Wang Zhi-Hong. Absolutely stunning.
