I am so excited about this book! I have been following the FB and Twitter posts and Tuesday cannot come soon enough.
BTW, the cover is GORGEOUS and the cover is the main reason why I will be buying the book and not the electronic version. I will happily cart it around.
Just ordered the book and the cover design is lovely. Just curious if the Japanese cover design is similar.

How about an event out here on the west coast involving some autographed copies–appropriate, no, given the whole mirror/opposite image thing?
The Kinokuniya bookstore in Seattle sounds like a winner to me.
I want to work for Chip Kidd. I’m a painter and a writer. I’m working as a journalist in the oil and gas industry. His work is superb.
