Alice in Wonderland Promotional Book

I just stubled across this video and it's very very cool. I'm not going to give anything away so you just have to watch it.

The Morae River

Okay so I've completely and totally fallen in love with this project! The Morae River was created by illustrator Brynn Metheney and is basically a fictional fantasy world of weird creatures and plants. The great part is that she is organizing this world like a biologist would do, going in depth with the ecosystem and landscape, drawing all the creatures from various angles and showing them in their natural habitat. The illustrations are very detailed and original and it almost reminds me of the movie Avatar, which also features a world full of magical creatures and plants. All of Brynn's work will result in a book that I honestly can't wait to get my hands on.

Barnes & Noble Leatherbound Classics

Last summer I went to New York for the first time and one of the places I enjoyed the most was Barnes and Noble. I was there almost once a day looking at all the gorgeous book covers, interesting titles and sipping my hot chocolate while eating yummy desserts. On the first day there I discovered this wonderful series of leatherbound classics that I just had to have. I couldn't of course as they weighed too much and wouldn't fit in my suitcase, so I had to pick just one. I chose the "H.G. Wells - Seven Novels" book and I just love it. It's purple and the graphics on it are all shiny. It's so gorgeous. They're also pretty fabulous on the inside and have wonderful illustrations and gilded pages. Anyway, I want to share these beautiful books with you so have a look.
