They look like the kind of leather-bound books you'd find in a room smelling of rich mahogany, but these chunky classics are actually salvaged bricks. The faux literature is the work of Melbourne guy Daryl Fitzgerald, who grabs second-hand bricks and stencils the well-worn units into Light Reading. They make great bookends for unread biographies and look awesome on a dusty mantelpiece.

William Eggleston's GUIDE. William Eggleston's Guide was the first one-man show of color photographs ever presented at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Museum's first publication of color photography. The reception was divided and passionate. The book and show unabashedly forced the art world to deal with color photography, a medium scarcely taken seriously at the time, and with the vernacular content of a body of photographs that could have been but definitely weren't some average American's Instamatic pictures from the family album. These photographs heralded a new mastery of the use of color as an integral element of photographic composition. Bound in a textured cover inset with a photograph of a tricycle and stamped with yearbook-style gold lettering, the Guide contained 48 images edited down from 375 shot between 1969 and 1971 and displayed a deceptively casual, actually super-refined look at the surrounding world. Here are people, landscapes, and odd little moments in and around Eggleston's hometown of Memphis--an anonymous woman in a loudly patterned dress and cat's eye glasses sitting, left leg slightly raised, on an equally loud outdoor sofa; a coal-fired barbecue shooting up flames, framed by a shiny silver tricycle, the curves of a gleaming black car fender, and someone's torso; a tiny, gray-haired lady in a faded, flowered housecoat, standing expectant, and dwarfed in the huge dark doorway of a mint-green room whose only visible furniture is a shaded lamp on an end table. For this edition of William Eggleston's Guide, The Museum of Modern Art has made new color separations from the original 35 mm slides, producing a facsimile edition in which the color will be freshly responsive to the photographer's intentions. William Eggleston's Guide. Photographs by William Eggleston. Edited, with an essay by John Szarkowski. Designed by Carl Laanes. Museum of Modern Art, New York, 1976. 112 pp. Square octavo. First edition. Hardbound with Black leatherette-covered boards, with title stamped in gilt. Color plate tipped into embossed front cover. No dust jacket as issued. four color plates; black-and-white portrait of William Eggleston by Geoffrey Biddle accompanied by a brief biography.

Jacket design by Fred Marcellino. "It’s hard to imagine a more dramatic “all-type” cover than this one, for the American first edition of Margaret Drabble’s masterful chronicle. The novel explores the lives of three Englishwomen who reunite twenty-five years after their days at Cambridge." The Radiant Way Margaret Drabble, Knopf, 1987

misa e This is a trend that drives me kind of bonkers. Sort of like seeing old records turned into coasters.
