Here’s a kind soul that has compiled a HUGE list of all the Flickr groups that are book and typography related. But be warned: You can kill an entire week just lurking around on this list!

The Magic City Art Connection (formerly Art in the Park) is this weekend. The three day free event will have the streets around Lynn Park blocked off thousands of Birminghamsters crowd into hundreds of white tents to see what is there.
I noticed that there are fewer print artists showing this year. I was somewhat surprised [...]

I burned waaaaaay too much time here. But man was it fun. This guy photographed historical type speciman books and posted the pics to Flickr.

We made the trip to Montgomery for the second annaul Alabama Book Festival. This year’s festival was twice as big as last year, taking up two city blocks of Old Alabama Town. There were even a few more authors speaking. Including Pulitzer-prize winner Robert Olen Butler.
