One new idea for every day in 2011. We’re talking big, small, local,
international, in action and on the drawing board. Here’s today’s —
what’s yours? Nate Burgos is a huge book fan, especially of the rare variety. The self-described “designer for the fortune 5,000,000” launched a short movie series this month called Rare Book Feast about the timeless character of rare, vintage examples from the “old” print world. First up is the “World Geo-Graphic Atlas“, which was designed by Herbert Bayer with Martin Rosenzweig, Henry Gardiner
and Masato Nakagawa and published in 1953.
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If New Times matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there. The book, as Burgos explains in the video after the jump, is 368 pages of charts, graphs, diagrams, and symbols that were created before computers. It goes for about $800 online.
