There is nothing like reading a real magazine... I like to read them on ipad when I travel, but at hoùe, there is nothing like a real heavy beautiful magazine !
Milk is a french children fashion magazine, but they always present nice homes... They finaly goes into a real dedicated home decoration mag with sharp design, fashion designers, nice selection of items for today's families. There is also the "cahier tribus" : it invites us in beautiful interiors from real families, each with a different style : lovers of contemporary, all white and mottled old furniture... All with beautiful pictures and a minimalist layout and sleek ! Just like Cereal magazine, it is really a "way of life" magazine and I want to make it available in the shop.
When I was in Singapore I buy an issue as it is so nice, so I guess non french readers of this blog maybe interested in it ! I have very few copies of the issue 2 and 3, but have more of the current issue 4. Check the magazine section of the shop to get your copy.

Buying a design book, is, for me, an experience... (all books in fact)... I love to found one in a store, checking inspirational projects, and figure out it is what I would need next time I need to create... But it is a feeling I never found when I try to buy books online ! I would love to do real books for my own ebooks but it is too much complicate for now.
So, I want, instead to only share books I like, gave you access to them and see them with my eyes, with my pictures ! You can now found these books in the shop.
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.

Impressive
Inspired by the challenge of hands-on tweaks and unpredictable results as well as the tactile qualities of different inks, papers, and binding techniques, today’s creatives are rediscovering old-fashioned printing methods and crafts. Impressive is a topical exploration of the interplay between current trends in graphic design and traditional handiwork such as letterpress printing, hand-cut linotype, chiselled woodblocks, and embossing. In addition to a rich selection of invitations, business cards, stationery, posters, and other material printed by hand, it offers personal insights from designers who are using old-fashioned techniques to create cutting-edge work.
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 ! Advanced techniques and cheaper production costs today however require designers use metallic tones with greater sensitivity. Featuring a vast collection of direct mails, stationery, catalogues, events, corporate identities, etc., the title surveys how designers capture the essence of commitment, visions, valued traditions or simply the glittery appeal in the different guises of gold, silver and copper tones. Techniques include gilding, pure gold plating, metallic coatings, anodising, etc. that are fascinating to touch and see.
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, it is just an idea in my mind ! 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.
a map of the world
For lovers of maps and their charms : an invitation to travel first in spirit and imagination ! "A Map of the World" is a superb collection of maps of continents, countries, cities, neighborhoods and imaginary worlds represented in the form of drawings, symbols, computer graphics, pixels, or characters typographical... A new generation of designers, illustrators and cartographers whose Antoine Corbineau Vesa Sammalisto, Khuan + KTron, Eboy or Family Summerbelle interpret these new visions of the world and delight !
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).
Each of the images is accompanied by commentary from "PK," author and curator of the BibliOdyssey blog. The book also provides details for each image and links to the source website. With a foreword by artist Dinos Chapman, BibliOdyssey is a true cabinet of curiosities and a journey in discovery and delight.
Check the SELECTED section of the shop to see all the books available (and I still have some copies of the Volume 3 of CEREAL magazine) and you can found ebooks here.
