This week’s visuals:
& Victor Reinganum’s cover for Muriel Spark’s Ballad of Peckham Rye
& Jardin de la Conaissance, 40,000 discarded books as “a structural garden element of wall, bench and bed, but also as a growing medium”
& Western Motel, a 2009 exhibition on Edward Hopper’s influence on cinema & his view of architectural space [via]
& The top 10 typefaces of the past decade
& Booktwo on covers in the age of e-books
& Author photos are usually tucked away on a book’s inside sleeve, or found propping up the text on the back. It’s rare to have the author’s face staring out from a book’s front cover, and it’s pretty much unique to have that same cover discussed at length in the first chapter. Then again Trout Fishing in America is an atypical book
& Colophon flying likelihood reality check
