Tsilli Pines works in a creative whirlwind of exciting projects, and Alef Betty is her newest foray into the thoughtful amalgamation of rich cultural history and contemporary design aesthetics.
Alef Betty is a project that “reimagines expressions of Jewish identity…It pays tribute to where we come from, and aims to expand our cultural inheritance in its own small way.” Tsill has created a gorgeous website to serve as part historical archive, part family scrapbook, and part design shop. In the Stories section of the site, she explains the impetus for this poster project: a Hebrew alphabet poster that hung in her bedroom as a child.
I urge you to click over to the Alef Betty site and relish in the sleek, modern update of traditional Hebrew design, as well as the black-and-white vintage photographs of the women in Tsilli’s family. Dive into the stories behind the typefaces, and nab yourself a trio of chipboard posters: they come in red AND blue.
Every day this week, we’ll share a new Scout Book filled with creative goodness from the members of Chicago collaborative The Post Family. Awesome!

We very excited that he took the time to fill this Scout Book so expertly with collage work. We even see some letterpress bits and pieces in there!
Robert Botsford's work can be found at fastlikerabbit.com. This business card of his makes perfect sense.
We. Love. These. Cards.

“These words shaped history. They belong to you. Know them.”
This Scout Book is the synthesis of many of the things we get very excited about: metallic inks, historical documents, recycled paper, democracy…the list goes on.
Scout Books is proud to introduce a pocket-sized edition of the Constitution of the United States of America. Containing the Preamble, the seven Articles and the twenty-seven Amendments, this tiny book packs the content into 32 pages and is wrapped in a two-color chipboard cover printed in black and metallic gold inks. Typeset in the oh-so-legible Gotham font by Hoefler & Frere-Jones, this little guy is a contemporary update on a crucial text that aims to make the supreme law of the land more accessible. The front cover boasts Museo Slab, designed by the talented Jos Buivenga.
My goodness, that's a good looking book.

We took some Hacienda Esmerelda beans over to our friends at Cellar Door Roasters and they brewed it for us using their hand-crafted pour-over set up.
Nicolas then added a few drops of the coffee to the ink, just to make these books extra special.
From Dave Selden, the creator of 33 Bottles of Beer and 33 Bottles of Wine, with a little help from Chris Tacy and Brent Fortune, comes 33 Cups of Coffee. And none too soon as the Winter months are in full swing! Nothing comes close to a piping hot cup of coffee when it’s chilly out.
In true 33 Books fashion, this journal comes complete with a flavor wheel and list terms, demystified.
Rod Hunting is a designer and illustrator with some seriously stunning work in his portfolio. His delicate drawings are at once sophisticated and crafty; they're slick yet ooze evidence of the artist's hand at work. Peep his portfolio and get lost in lovely illustration.
Also, while you're at it, check out his installation of vintage camera drawings. It makes the analog nerds around here quite happy.
Rod filled his Scout Book with space-y pencil illustrations. Rod! I mean, Rad!
It's a beautiful day here at the shop, and I'm not just talking about the gorgeous sun outside...Check out some of our new colors of the Composition Notebook!
These pocket-sized beauties will roll out in the near future.

These pocket notebooks were created by Pilot to be used as giveaways and note taking tools for a workshop they held with a client. Pilot's plan is to create a series of Scout Books – one for each workshop as they continue to hold them. The bold illustration style used on this Scout Book translates really well on the chipboard.
