The exhibit and the book.  Urban Center Books has the exhibit and Yale University Press has just published the October release book entitled Unpacking My Library – Architects and Their Books, edited by Jo Steffens and featuring an essay by Walter Benjamin of which this is a brief excerpt: 

 “I am unpacking my library. Yes, I am. . . . Be ready to share with me a bit of the mood –  it is certainly not an elegiac mood but, rather, one of anticipation – which these books arouse in a genuine collector. . . . What I am really concerned with is giving you some insight into the relationship of a book collector to his possessions, into collecting rather than a collection.” – Walter Benjamin, 1931

Simply Sustainable Blog follows a editorial project that invites contributions from the public regarding their experiences in sustainable living. Some of these ideas will be published in an upcoming book of the same title.

From Guerrilla Typography designer Cardon Webb is tarting up the neighbourhood:

“Cardon Copy, takes the vernacular of self-distributed fliers and tear-offs we have all seen in our neighborhoods. It involves hijacking these unconsidered fliers and redesigning them, over powering their message with a new visual language. I then replace the original with the redesign in its authentic environment.”

It’s five people in a book group, not 5,000 people fed, but it’s five people I can pull aside and talk to,” Tibbetts said
