I Wonder
Behind An Object of Beauty
Darren Booth shares his process of designing the cover of Steve Martin’s An Object of Beauty. Via Quipsologies.
Xavier Antin
Xavier Antin's piece "Just in Time, or A Short History of Production" is nothing short of genius. The final result is a book printed in four colors, using a separate printer for each color. The twist however, is that the printers span production technologies dating from 1880 to 1976, using all sorts of printing methods to reach the final product. Via Beautiful/Decay.
Victore or, Who Died and Made You Boss?
I don't normally feature books or write any sort of reviews, but I'm ridiculously excited about James Victore's new book which presents 48 of his most important projects and their backstories. Titled "Victore or, Who Died and Made You Boss?," this is sure to be a fantastic and inspirational read. Via Cool Hunting.

Steven Heller Book Giveaway
The fine folks at Allworth Press have been kind enough to sponsor a giveaway here at TBP, where they'll be giving away five copies of Steven Heller's new book "Pop: How Graphic Design Shapes Popular Culture". You have a pretty good chance of winning, and all you have to do is post a comment including either your email or a link to your own site, so don't slack! Read below for a description of the book, and good luck!
How do popular culture and graphic design influence one another? What are the goals of design? Are they to sell? To package? To entertain? The answers to these questions are complicated and are intimately tied to the effect design has on the overall culture. POP is the first book to analyze the role of graphic design in the broader culture, as well as the impact of design on other art and entertainment forms, from album covers to baseball stadiums. Author Steven Heller addresses such subjects as: pop icons; viral and guerilla advertising; political satire; the history of Interview, Monocle, Mad, and other magazines; illusionism and three-dimensional design; art for art’s sake; design vs. decoration; the return of hand lettering; art for the masses, and more.
