She is scheduling a bookbinding workshop in a different part of the world each month. January’s was in Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire; March’s will be on the Summer Isles in Northwest Scotland. And February’s — aptly titled Colour of Love — begins today in the Napa Valley. I’ll be right there — writing about paper engineering, stitching and all things Valentinear. Furthermore >

[Tom Biederbeck] Lucky Peach magazine has serious (and seriously funny) writing about food, lavish original illustrations, swell diversions and inserts (issue #2 has a sheet of parody fruit stickers), no online content, no advertising (well, very little) and curious art direction choices (on its cover, issue #1 displayed the south end of a northbound chicken). And it’s wildly successful. Furthermore >

So Noted: Milton Glaser [Laura Shore] One of the great joys of my job is seeing how our paper weaves itself into the work of truly great designers. Another is collecting cool ephemera from designers I know and admire. The problem with collecting ephemera is that it’s so, well, ephemeral. After rolling up posters and transporting them from office to car to apartment to attic to the framer. . . well, you get the idea. So imagine how thrilled I was to see that Milton Glaser has launched a new site, offering his posters and prints in pristine, collectible condition. One of my favorite poster collections is Milton’s Cooperstown Chamber Music series on Mohawk paper. Another is his Olivetti typewriter series, which we’re showing in its entirety to amuse our editrice, Alyson. So, whether you’re a mature person like myself, seeing these images for the second time around, or are just starting out, you now have a chance to own posters and prints from one of the master designers of a generation. Visit miltonglaser.com for a guided tour of Milton’s work and then go to miltonglaserworks.com to purchase iconic posters and prints.
