Every battle is won before it is even fought — Amazon acquires Stanza. Like just about everyone else, I was completely blindsided by this. But should we have seen it coming?

The Black Series — Paperback covers from 1960′s Swedish crime series “Svarta serien”  illustrated by Per Åhlin seen at Martin Klasch’s blog.

100 Books on Typography — Compiled by Charles Nix president of the Type Directors Club (via Design Observer).

Writing Without Words — Stefanie Posavec’s gorgeous visualizations of text and the writing styles of various authors (via @Ashbury&Ashbury).

The Art of Penguin Science Fiction–  James Pardey is creating an archive of Penguin science fiction cover designs. If I have one complaint it’s that you can’t see larger versions of the covers, but otherwise it is brilliant (via Ace Jet 170).
