I am happy to said the calendars are now finish and in boxes, probably in a truck between Zaragoza and my home. It tooks much time than we plan, but this is all handmade by the amazing El Calotipo team and they have done an amazing job ! I get an email the other day telling me "I am sad it is sold out"... but it is not ! Only the Deluxe edition with colors edges is sold out, but you still can order the "normal edition" which came with white edges here. And it looks like this :
We will first the calendars pre-order in october, then november orders... If you want to have one before christmas, it must be ordered before december 15th. Some behind the scene pictures :

As I write when I introduce design books in the shop, founding a design book, is, for me, an experience... (all books in fact)... I love to found one in a store, but it is a feeling harder to get when I try to buy books online based on the cover only ! I would love to do real books for my own ebooks but it will be next year, I hope. So, I want, instead to only share books I like, gave you access to the ones I really like and see them with my eyes, with my pictures ! I just put some new books in the shop. Prefect for your designer boy friend for christmas !!!
New vintage type

And if you miss them, the following books are still available.
Studio on fire / Iron beastes
If you are often on my blog, you must know Studio On Fire ! They have taken letterpress to the next level, which makes them arguably one of the best letterpress shop, and this is the book proves it. A "must have" on every designer's shelf. The front cover is printed by the studio itself, in heavy cardboard... more infos on this page of the SOF blog.
Gold & Silver - New Metallic Graphics
Coming after Black & White and Multicolour, Gold & Silver is the third of viction:ary's colour-themed series PALETTE which singly focuses on the dynamic play of metallic ink and materials in graphical designs. With its amazing gold cover and on the sides, it looks like a golden bar !
save the date
I am, of course, very interestind in calendar design ! Hope the 2014 edition will be featured in some book, even if for now ! From promotional merchandise to experimental projects published by 86 designers and advertising agencies worldwide, Save The Date captures how innovative calendar designs continue to engage attention and energise life in a delightful body of forms, graphics and original ideas, derived from a good understanding of its role and uses.
Bibliodyssey - Amazing Archival images
If you are fascinated by old illustrations from the early 1900's, this book is for you... BibliOdyssey's mission blog has been to diligently trawl the dustier corners of the Internet and retrieve these materials for our attention. Thanks to the daily efforts of this singular blog, a myriad of long-forgotten imagery has now re-surfaced, from eighteenth-century anatomical and architectural drawing to occult and alchemical engravings and proto-Surrealist depictions of the horrors of industrialization (for example, the half-plant, half-people illustrations of J.J. Grandville).
And if you have enough, you can order them by colors like me !
Check the SELECTED section of the shop to see all the books available and you can found ebooks here.

This is what I love the most, when an idea became a reality ! These are the first pictures of the full calendar deluxe edition : it comes with painting edges, and I am just so happy with it. They should be sent in around 10 days, still a lot of work to do before...
You can get the normal edition, with white edges here... It won't have the sides colors but the rope and finishing with front tag will be the same...
