A colleague recommended "Six of Crows" by Leigh Bardugo. I devoured it greedily, then dove straight into the sequel, "Crooked Kingdom." Absorbing worldbuilding, perfect plotting, and captivating characters. Plus, the binding design is GORGEOUS.

Our incredibly persistent printers at Die Keure have spent the last three months making more copies of Tree of Codes. Yes, three months! Rather than tell you all about how Tree of Codes is made, we thought, this time we’d show you. The guys at www.canvas.be in Belgium have made an amazing little film, "The Making of Tree of Codes" to show you just what it takes to get these books made.
Watch the full 3minute film on Youtube.

I think I am a scroll-person.
During my first week of ipadding I found myself mostly holding it in both hands, left and right thumbs on the black margin. Easiest appropriate navigation is scrolling with one thumb during reading (focus of attention roughly in the middle of the screen), occasionally tabbing top left to go back somewhere.
What I like best so far are all kinds of navigation that don't require my hands to leave the device. This might be different when the ipad is laying on my lap. But also then I mostly have my hands resting next to it.
Tabbing somewhere down right to get to the next page in a paginated layout is comfortable as well. But a bigger gesture like swiping with two fingers would call my hands to lift and perform a greater movement than just lazy scrolling.
Well, no unbearable demand, but the process and comfort of reading is influenced by lazyness to a very large extent.
Seven signatures of seven sheets each. One hundred sixty-eight pages, something like 220 poems — sonnets and odes. A calendar, a psalter of sorts, of New England. Bound in black leather and purple waxed thread.
The book Nuotraukos dokumentams / Photographs for Documents contains 40 double-portraits taken by Vytautas V. Stanionis (1917–1966) in Seirijai, a small town in southern Lithuania and commissioned by the Soviet authorities in 1946. Usually two unrelated individuals were portrayed in each photograph due to shortage of materials in postwar Lithuania; portraits that were later separated. The images were found years later by Vytautas’s son, also called Vytautas, who was exploring his father’s archive.
Berlin based book designer Tom Mrazauskas created this beautiful publication, crafted with special attention to detail. He chose Soleil, by Wolfgang Homola, as the main typeface. Every image was visually cut into half by folding the pages, avoiding repetition and creating a different rhythm. The duo-tone plates were printed on thin uncoated stock. Published by Kaunas Photography Gallery in 2013 the book has received several awards.
The designer Tom Mrazauskas told us how Soleil was the perfect fit for this book. His starting point was a "geometric typeface, used all over the Soviet Union, mostly for setting text in magazines, but he wanted to have a modern version". Mrazauskas also pointed to the parallels between the cold approach of the passport photographs and the pure geometrical forms of the typeface; and how at the same time there is a personal character in the photographs and a humanistic touch in Soleil. "Everything worked together".
