PA Press Flip Throughs- 04.20.07

Princeton Architectural Press sent over a box of books ~ and to be honest, i have not quite mastered the online book review… especially on design/art oriented books. But to me, a first impression is key (as it is with people), and that initial flip through says a LOT, i mean seriously, if a book full of pictures can’t grab you quickly, what’s to make it seem any more interesting later? SO! That being said, and my experimenting with the camcorder while back in LA earlier this week, here’s a video flip through of the books they sent over. I was particularly taken by Tools of the Imagination and Blackstock’s Collection… so take a peek if you’re interested, and let me know if this is a format worth trying again?
Here are links to read more about the books i just flipped through ~ (listed in order shown in video)
Surreal Eden
Ilf and Petrov’s American Road Trip
Mingering Mike: The Amazing Career of an Imaginary Soul Superstar

Blackstock’s Collection makes me think of Antenna - a magazine of collected items.
