There’s a new site that’s up and running in an effort to preserve the bound book. Unlike many folks upset about “digital media” intruding on print media’s turf, the folks at Future of the Book seem to be operating with a much broader perspective. They’re even working in digital printing and media into some of their projects. It should be fun to watch how they evolve and just how myopic their vision does/doesn’t get.

Flickr finds
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!

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.
