the suziebeezieland bookshop -- august

Scrapbooks an american

There are HUNDREDS of new craft, design, and art books coming out in the next few months. 

I've chosen Scrapbooks: An American History by Jessica Helfand as the book of the month because it is on a mighty interesting topic and getting some mighty interesting reviews from some mighty interesting people. :) It's coming out this November 3rd.

The author, Jessica Helfand, is a partner at Winterhouse, a design collaborative in New England, and a founding editor of Design Observer. She is senior critic in the Yale School of Art and has written several books on design and cultural criticism. (I think any time you can get Henry Louis Gates, Jr. to review your book, you're doing pretty well!)

You'll find nine more interesting preorders on the bookshop's welcome page. Have fun browsing! :)

This looks so cool, Suzanne. Adding it on my "to read" list now!

Sounds interesting! Will have to see if the library has it!
