  • Do You Know Pre-Order

    —

    The fine folks at Chin Music Press are about to launch the follow-up to KUHAKU, this time in the form of a collection of stories and essays about New Orleans (with all proceeds of pre-orders going to relief organizations) called DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO MISS NEW ORLEANS. Pre-orders start today (I’ve paid…

  • Kokuhaku

    —

    I wanted to clear things up, following some comments on the Jim Frederick involvement with the recently published Japanese Charles Jenkins autobiography. I checked with Jim, and KOKUHAKU is indeed the book he wrote with Jenkins. When the publisher asked if he wanted to be mentioned in the Japanese edition, he decided that it wasn’t…

  • Tokyo Asia-Pacific Entertainment Festival

    This looks like fun, and I believe it’s the event where Sony is going to be premiering some PS3-related vids (and possible hands-on gameplay).

As expected, it’s a stunning piece of work, and I can’t stop leafing through it. I don’t know if there are any copies left (it was limited…

  • Kuhaku Is Such a Slut

    For those who still haven’t picked up a copy of Chin Music Press’ KUHAKU, the following review from Bookslut might convince you.

  • Design/Books/Cafe

    , ,

    Design/Books/Cafe. Three things that just seem to go hand-in-hand, and the ongoing “German Year” event offers up something for lovers of all 3: One of the central themes of the “German year” is design. While to those familiar with German design the current “DesignLab” series is recommended as a source of inspiration and advanced information,…
