authonomy is a brand new community site for writers, readers and publishers, conceived and developed by book editors at HarperCollins. Looks fantastic!
Fully Booked presents a choice selection of artist books. Created by hand and printed in limited editions, these publications push the boundaries of conventional book design.
It presents material from printed publications that succeed in striking a crucial balance – between the market’s demands for availability, legibility and durability on the one hand and sophisticated visual and content design on the other. By featuring projects in this experimental field that combine enormous creativity with skilled craftsmanship, Fully Booked also reveals trends in today’s graphic design.
Looks fantastic.
Get London Reading is a campaign to um.... get London reading. They produced a great site with a Rough Guide to London by the book , which you can download for free, and a really useful interactive online map.
There was also a brilliant graffiti campaign across London in April, which included quotes from books stencilled all over the place. Lots more pics here on flickr. Really beautiful...
Via One Floor Up: A wonderful new find.

Richard Weston, author of much admired typography blog Acejet 170 has submitted this beautiful entry for the cover of the new book Crowdsourcing by Jeff Howe, editor of WIRED.
The book hopes to generate an impact comparable to similar genre bestsellers The Wisdom of Crowds by James Surowiecki, The Long Tail by Chris Anderson, and Blink by Malcolm Gladwell.
Richard's entry is doing rather well on the voting :) You can rate the entries yourself here
