This week we were particularly taken away by Jim Zook’s book “USA or Bust.” Jim hit the open road earlier this year to talk to the American people about the state of the nation.

An Unapologetic Book of the Week
July 23, 2009 – 8:50 am
We first heard of David Fullarton on Behance for his contribution to the Sisyphus Office exhibition.

David’s text and image collages are [...]

We geek out on books about the sciences, remote places, and unique spaces - so when we heard about Paul Freeman’s book “Space Lands” we just about hit the moon in excitement.

A Little Family History
February 5, 2009 – 12:53 pm
In a digital era, more and more of our family photos spend their lives on our computers or on photo sharing sites, versus in photo albums or piled in shoe boxes around our houses. While saving the space has its perks, it is still nice to sit down and peruse a family album every once [...]
New Year’s Resolutions and a New Book of the Week
January 15, 2009 – 11:59 am
New Year’s resolutions are often weight loss resolutions, which really just make us think about food all the time. So it’s only fitting that our BOTW is about pasta! Khoa Le’s book, Baked Ziti With a Jalapeño On Top is an illustrated story about a young girl in a multi-racial house, and her love [...]
