Supergraphics
Just got an email from Unit Editions to say my copy of Supergraphics would be in my grubby little hands within weeks! I can hardly contain my excitement. If you would like your own copy(because you won't be getting the lend of mine) you can order it from the Unit Editions website.

myFry
Penguin have designed an iPhone app to accompany Stephen Fry's autobiography; 'The Fry Chronicles,' called 'myFry'. The app works as a visual index of key themes in the book and you navigate your way around using a wheel style menu. It's all very clever and I could go on but I think Mr Fry explains it better himself.

The New Food Order
Ikea have just launched their new cookbook called "Hembakat ar Bast" (Homemade is Best). The design and photography are so utterly beautiful that on seeing it I wept vanilla essence tears on to my Punsch-roll. The book contains 30 recipes with photography by Carl Kleiner my new favourite photographer.

Irma Boom: Biography of Books
A few weeks ago I mentioned that Irma Boom: Biography of Books exhibition was taking place in the University of Amsterdam. Well lucky old me got to see it on my biannual visit to The Netherlands last week (how smug am I right now). It lived up to my expectations, it was excellent. The exhibition is a major retrospective of Irma Boom's work which she donated to the University Library in 2003. The design of the exhibition is exceptional, informal but very informative. There was just so much to take in, I really enjoyed it and loved the little posit notes written by Irma that were stuck on the books. So get to Amsterdam before the exhibition ends!

Her first solo exhibition which is taking place right now as we speak in The University of Amsterdam Special Collections Department, runs until the 3rd of October. I found these images on slanted.
